I am using this ledger for household expenses, checks, etc. I ordered it because I could not find a smaller (handier) 2 column ledger that I used to buy in years' past. My old books had 144 pages and good for about 2 plus years.  It's nice, but for me, I have to get used to fewer pages which means fewer entries/page and finding a place to store a larger size. I'll probably get used to it by the end of the year.

If you are used to hitting the 200 page limit at the local office supply place, you have a solution!  These puppies will hold about 400 pages with ease, so if you double side you can make an 800 page book.  For actual capacity search the internet and you will find a chart in MM and Inches for binders that is very useful.  It shows the exact maximum page count depending on diameter and paper weight.

I've found that oversizing the binding is good practice and helps the books last longer in repeated use.

The book was advertised as new, the book is aged which is normal, I accept normal aging of paper books. While reading the book, I have found two pages where the upper outside pages are dog eared, There must be a new definition to new on old books, I can accept that also, I like the condition of the book and it's a keeper.

Very old but still has all the information I needed.

Books was in decent condition. I am glad my teacher asked for this older version so I could find it cheap.

Good lists of books divided by regions and ages. But, some of the books were so old! It seems like their would be newer picture books of different cultures and ways of living than 1997, for example.

I bought the first edition of this book at Barnes & Noble for $35 years ago. Later, I saw it on eBay going anywhere from $80 to $400 when it went out of print.

It is one of my sentimental favorites, and I could not part with it.

This year's calendar is an improvement over those of recent years that mainly just featured best sellers from the previous year.  The books now span the past couple of decades and beyond.  Still, it's not quite as good as it was back in the 1990's and earlier, when there was additional literary info on the reverse side of each day's page.

I prefer facsimiles to books that are retype set.  I have many books from the seventeenth century, but they are extremely rare and very costly.  If you can't afford the original, a facsimile reprint is the way to go.

I still have my 24th edition of the above title and the new copy has not changed much. The copy had 226 pages and the new one has increased to 404 pages with the same format. They have added symbols which are helpful. I was disappointed to find the latest edition to be 1997.  Thank You

Readers digest been around a long time.
I read in my early years and came back to it in the later years.

It's worth saving the magazine and rereading the old and the new.

I bought this in 2012-07, and it finally ran out on 2017-03. I'm not sure I got 2000 pages out of it, but I did get 5 years (minus one tax return season).

The only thing I saw that could be a negative is that a thin 1/4" slice of the sticker got stuck to the drum felt. I didn't notice any problems with the prints over the years, so I guess that's pretty minor.

On to order another.

I remember distinctly when my mom was cleaning out the house and intending to discard this book. Not sure why we had it, it had just been on the shelf. For whatever reason I said I wanted it, probably just being possessive. My mom expressed doubt I'd ever read it. Challenge accepted. I was about 9 years old, in the 4th grade if memory serves. Anyhow I did read it, cover to cover. It was the very first hardcover I ever read on my own. Started out as sort of a challenge but I got into it fully in not many pages. I've been a book person ever since. Until the advent of electronic readers I used to be able to claim reading my own weight in books every year. For nostalgia's sake alone, I might very well re-read this book again.

I agree with the previous reviews, as my grandmother gave me her set (complete from the first year). I have had them for 2 years - and it feels like things have cheapened up. If I have to pay $10 more for beautiful color photos - I will. Please bring back the cookbooks that my grandmother cherished.

I have owned the book for less than 6 months and the pages are detaching from the binding. I take good care of my books and have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd edition books that have lasted for years.
