does the book lay flat when open?

No it does not. It's a hardcover diary and perhaps if you broke the spine it would lay flat.

The cover itself lays flat but the pages themselves don't lay as flat as a ring binder type would. But the pages stay open the same way any hard cover book does. Hope that helps?

It's like a hard cover book. When you open it....it cannot lay flat when open unless it's a map....

No, but it's not a problem for me. I knew what I was getting when I ordered it. For years I have used it as a diary and was happy to find it on Amazon at a good price. Delivery was exceptional. If the book's binding is not an issue, I recommend it.

Hi John, no, the book does not lay open. It works perfect for my use. I use a large book mark.

Yes it will lay flat, however, you need to insert note paper and any course books you are studying. Neat, compact with pencils and pens for highlighting importatt stuff.

No. It is just like any other bound journal. To get it to lay flat, you have to press it and crease the binding

I agree with the previous two answers. Papers or folders laying flat, yes. Heavy books, no.

No, (unless you put a book under it...) This product is very sturdy and lightweight... I use it a lot with various sized textbooks. When it is not needed, it folds up nicely.

Hello. Because the book case is slanted the part thats not flat may not matter. if it doesn't work, Amazon has a excellent return policy. Good luck

Do you mean opened? IF so, the answer is NO. Otherwise, with the cover closed, of course it's flat.

With mine yes it does stay flat. Opens fast and easy. Attach a lanyard to zipper for faster closure of the binder/"padfolio".

It lies flat, I believe the folds are there to make it easier to rollup and store

Yes it is flat. Handy with the spiral binder. Might even fit in a purse, it is small.

Yes, it does lay flat for the most part aside from the curve around the spine of the binder. You won't have to hold it open, though. And there is no zipper.

Yes it does. You may have to press the individual pages down once, but the leather itself will lay flat open right when you get the journal.

It lays flat... and it is not well stuffed. I had to add to the cushion they supplied. Not at all happy with it.

It does lay flat. The middle is raised with an area of 3/4" and the top and bottom are 1/8" & 1/4" respectively. My kids use the different sides (or middle) to highlight the lines according the type size they're reading.

Yes, it does lay flat. However, it's the most uncomfortable chair I've ever bought. I should have returned it! Waste of money. No one in our family likes or uses it

No, Must lay flat. I do not recommend this product though. Mine failed after 2 months.

They do lay flat on the page, although the center part is raised, so there is a slight division between the top, middle and bottom (and not divided by 3rds... the middle is more than half.... if that makes sense).
