PA-43 Continental Small Address Book

The contact information in my cell phone disappeared twice within a few days. As it is tedious to enter the contacts into the phone, I decided to return to the pleasant habit of keeping a small address book in my handbag. This address book was for sale at a local stationers. This small shop carries items that are not to be found in the large chain stores here. This address book is lovely. I quite like Smyth-sewn bindings. The paper in this book is a pale cream color, has a matte finish and does not glare. The texture of the paper is comfortable to write on with a Pentel mechanical pencil, B lead. (I cannot give a report on the paper's capacity to handle ink.) I would prefer a bit heavier weight paper, but this is fine. The paper and the lines are pleasant to look at. The thumb tabs are easy to use. The alphabet letters are easy to read. I like the feel of the cover, the rounded corners, and how the book sits in the hand. It is the kind of address book I can highly recommend to others needing a small book, or to give as a gift. I came to this website to find more Payne books and/or planners with Smyth-sewn bindings and that hav the pleasant usefulness of this address book. I hope to put this book to many years of good service.
