Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very practical
Review: I had been searching for a book organizer for some time, withoug much success.

I am quite happy with my find on Amazon. This BookNotes is practical, efficient and lightweight. I mention the weight issue because I intended to carry this book with me everywhere and did not, therefore, want it to be a burden.

The sections are: Tracking system for books loaned (could have done without this), Book Notes (to me the most valuable part of this book - they could have added a few more pages to this section), Notes to Myself (always helpful)and numbers of note.

Nice clear printing (large letters) and wonderful quotations on books can be found throughout.

Excellent purchase.

Summary: Very useful
Review: I've only had a chanced to browse this "book" and it seems to be one that can be very valuable over the years as another reviewer notes. I'm ordering mine today! Go to your local bookstore and check it out. It will make a lot more sense then. But...buy it here otherwise these folks will not post this review.

Summary: A great way to record titles by genre
Review: What I like about this book (the best, in my view of the three titles I bought recently) is that it allows me both to keep a list of books I want to read by author (I love particular authors) and by subject. What is more is that the books can be entered alphabetically by author - a book to those of thus who remember the author better than the title.

On the minus side, there is that pesky section on reading groups that I really don't need. And I could wish that this title came in a spiral version which would make it easier to lay flat, or that there was a way to index all the titles I read at the back of the book (at present I would be limited to indexing the books by author) either by title or by the order in which I read them. I am rating this a 4.5 simply because of some minor inconveniences.

On the other hand, it is nicely presented (even if a paperback) and it is the most suitable for a young reader. A children's version of this would be great (with illustrations picked from children's classics, or more color to the illustration, and slightly larger print).

To be honest, my ideal reader's diary would be a bit more like a Day-Planner, which would allow me to stuff up the diary in the two or three sections that I use most. But for my purposes, this BookNotes is the best value and the most satisfactory.
