This book is a "mini" (half the size of a regular sheet of paper) - A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.

We also have the BIG size (the size of a regular sheet of paper) on this website.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.  Binding is with coil, allowing for easy flipping of pages with getting jammed.  With coil binding, it can lay flat on a table when opened.
