This one was still handy, and I especially like the material Rhodia uses for their ribbon. I prefer having a few ribbons, but I have yet to find a notebook with enough ribbons for my liking. It has an elastic closure and a ribbon marker. My pen opened in my bag and smeared all over the cover, but it wiped right off with a damp rag.
