Product description
Style C2A001 is a "small leather agenda book" measuring approximately 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 1 1/2". It consists of a leather cover containing numerous paper inserts (pages) held in a metal six-ring binder mechanism permanently attached at the spine. The captioned, essentially blank pages are grouped into a number of sections intended to accommodate a variety of personal record-keeping notations, e.g., appointments, addresses, contacts, expenses, projects, etc. The book also includes a printed map of the world and three plastic-pocket pages to hold receipts, business cards and the like. The leather cover features a snap closure, and its interior surfaces incorporate additional storage pockets.
