Journals, planners, and more

Dad's binder for my prose is full, so I'm making him a new one for Father's Day.  I scanned images of the cover and spine posted here.  He likes to keep copies of things I've written, which is actually a small bookcase in the living room now, not sure this new one will even fit.  I still need to print off at least one new thing to put in it.  

I really like using 3-ring binders for journal/planner work.  The sleeve lets me insert a cover and spine.  The D-rings hold a lot of pages.  I use top-loading archival page protectors to hold the pages so they stay nice.  It's easy to pop open the rings and add or move things.  Scrapbooks typically use posts or straps that may look a little nicer, but are much more fussy to change.  So I prefer this style for things I'll be adding to over time.  The 1 1/2" size holds a considerable amount of pages without feeling too clunky to handle easily.  I can go up to 2" for a bigger project but it's not as wieldy.
