Hardcover journal notebook. The cover and back cover are cloth. You can use it as a diary, for business, or as a general planner. The dates are not printed, so you can start using it anytime. How about using it from the new school term? There are no writings or folds, but it has been stored at home, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things or are looking for a perfect item. As I have written in my profile, I do not offer discounts except for bulk purchases, so I will immediately delete comments asking for a discount on single items without replying. Shipping will be by postal mail. Thank you.
