Boorum & Pease 66-500-R Record/Account

I am quite pleased at the quality of this accounting book....well worth the money. I write my addresses. Wifi code, needed info and lists in the 1st few pages for easy reference. Years of room for monthly list and plenty of room for appointments and reminders for each month. It's also like a monthly diary on each page. Highly recommended!! Solid book will last for many years. A go to book for an older lady to refer to. I leave a positive bible verse to keep me encouraged on each monthly page..."thy word is a light unto my path and a light unto my path" as I travel thru each month...EASY

Grey weight of paper with solid binding. Enjoyable to write in.

I had originally bought a much cheaper soft bound blank book to hold all of our family's "heirloom" recipes. I envisioned it as something that could be passed down to my kids and grandchildren. But thirty pages in, the binding was already cracked and the book was falling apart. I immediately turned to Boorum & Pease because I'd used them before and I knew how awesome they are. Sure enough, this book is sturdily built with acid-free paper and high quality stitched binding. I really can't tell the difference between this new Record book (made in China) and a fifty-year-old Record book (made in the USA) that my grand-aunt used to track her household expenses in the 1960's. These green cloth bound 66-series books don't have the same weight paper as the leather-bound 21-series books, but the paper quality is still very good, thick enough to prevent most writing from showing through the page and smooth enough to be enjoyable to write on while still giving you the tactile feedback of the pen or pencil on the paper. I use Sakura Micron pens and Derwent Inktense pencils, and I'm really happy with the results in the record book.

Yes, the book is expensive but well worth it. It has three times as many pages as comparable books and is very well made. It’s perfect to keep track of my expenses and will last me years.

I had one of these journals years ago when I was in college, and during a recent search through a veritable sea of beautiful, unique journals, when I wanted a large, simple journal and simply could not decide among the many themes and styles, I suddenly remembered this journal of yore. Yes, it still existed! I ordered it. To be clear, this is the Boorum and Pease "Record Book," whereas what they call a "Journal" actually has a different kind of lines used for accounting, not suitable for a personal journal. This Record Book has ordinary lines like you might find in a notebook. I love that it has a whopping 500 numbered pages, is substantial in size, and has two lined pages in front to create your own Table of Contents. I love the archaic-looking cloth cover with the rounded corners. And I also love the fact that, since these have been around forever, they will probably continue to be around forever, which means I can have a uniform series of journals instead of a jumble of all different styles. That's great for some purposes, but I'm using this to catalog my Tarot studies and readings, and for that, I would like to use the same style journal over and over again for consistency's sake, and in order to be able to catalog my progress. The page numbers and table of contents will make it easy for me to go back through these journals when I want to find something specific. I haven't had any problems with ink bleed-through as someone mentioned, even using a variety of colored pens and gel pens. It's a bit pricey, but nothing compared to a skinny, floppy, overpriced Moleskine, of which I'd have to buy several to equal this many delightfully empty pages. I love it!

Awesome looking spine and book, but the pages are VERY thin. I write fairly hard and the pages are just whisper-thin.

Great 👍🏾

It is exactly what I wanted

Wish I had an option on the colour but other than that. I can’t complain. Excellent purchase. I look forward to having all my writing in one place.

La compré como libreta de proyectos, quedé muy satisfecho con esta compra, las hojas tienen buen grosor, todas están numeradas, la pasta es dura y tiene un indice. muy buena libreta

Ótimo produto

Solido y bien hecho; el precio es algo exagerado.
