To begin with, the astonishing covers of the long notebooks that get renewed and better every year is one of the striking features of it. Page quality is appreciable. Gel pens do not blot the paper.There is adequate spacing of margins and space provided for writing the page number and the date. The papers are eco friendly ans ELEMENTAL CHLORINE FREE. Speaking about the price, yes the price is hightened but the reason is whatever we pay, a quantum of it goes to the Read India Plus Programme under the ITC aimed for improving education to the underpriveledged. The back cover comes with QR codes and Bar codes that are easy to scan ( tested by me) and helps you order online too at the official site.
