Binder 1.5''

When you sell to a European country you should warn the customer that you are selling them a product of US standard and not simply mention the measurements. So I bought Avery ring files which take Letter standard paper. In Europe the comparative standard is A4 which is slightly larger and do not fit the files. To find paper and related stationery that fits is difficult and expensive. Furthermore, delivery was a nightmare. You packed 5 files into 2 boxes and Ups wanted to charge double for Customs Duty and Charges. Indeed, I refused and paid once only and they refused to hand over the second box. Therefore I only received 4 files making the total cost paid not worth the purchase!

Overall, I love my new BOS. I am currently in the process of updating and "modernizing" my original BOS, and THIS is the product I chose to house all of my information in, and so far, it is working out wonderfully. With THIS product, and its 3-ring binder that allows for ease of page insertion and removal, I am able to put my pages in wherever I want to in the book, in whatever order I want to, which I was UNABLE to do with my original, where the pages were sewn in to the binder. Also, it is made large enough to accommodate a multitude of pages; plenty to complete any large project. It has layered pocket inserts on BOTH the front AND back covers, for extra storing of papers/clippings, and it is made from a durable hard plastic material (regular binder). Although I am pleased with how it did come, I was actually expecting it to look more like what was pictured in the photo that was advertised. The advertisement says that the item is "blue-green" in color and the DESIGN of the book also APPEARS to be made of a "faux leather" FABRIC, NOT simply a design PRINTED onto a PLASTIC binder. And the book I received is more of a "gun metal grey" or "light black" color.

I was very pleased with my book. I took pictures & displayed it on FB . I love the fact that I could completely design everything. Awesome was very pleased.
