Rustic Green Linen Elegant Gold Leaf Monogrammed 3 Ring Binder

I am researching family history and compiling lots of records and documents. I wanted to organize this information to pass on to our children. I wanted a personalized binder to encourage interest in reading what I have discovered. Perfect! The design was a linen look with gold writing. I chose the black interior. It was exactly what I wanted. In fact, I have ordered another.

This binder is poor quality. It was described as having a linen cover. It is NOT LINEN but PLASTIC. It is a photo of a linen material transcribed onto the notebook. Tacky and not as described. Very disappointed especially as I was hoping to use it for a presentation. Note the size of the binder was 3 inches and I thought I had ordered a 1 inch binder. Fair because it is printed with the correct lettering but the surface is plastic and not linen!

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.
