I knew I wanted to purchase two journal/keepsake type books for each of my grandmothers. I looked at a couple in the store that I didn't like much because they had room for pictures on almost every page and not as much room for questions and answers - which is what I really wanted.
I also read tons of reviews for many of the other books (many of them mentioned in other review comments). I finally decided to order a copy of this one, even though I wasn't 100% if it would fit what I wanted it. After I received it, I immediately ordered a second one so both grandmothers could have one.
What I like about it:
- It is hardcover over a spiral binding (best of both worlds, to me!)
- It has an elastic strap on the outside to hold it shut (just a nice touch)
- It is divided into a handful of "chapter" sections based on stages of life (childhood, school years, etc.)
- It has just a couple pages for basic geneology, which is nice to have for the record but not what I wanted the book to focus on
- There are several questions on each page with a good amount of lines to fill in each answer
- I liked the questions. There were a lot of them. They were a good balance of specific-answers and open-ended. They asked about facts but also got personal. They covered most all of the important and interesting areas of life, asking about preferences and experiences and also personal responses (e.g. asking about length of marriage but also to reflect on what made the marriage last that long).
- I felt that a completed or even partially completed copy of this book would give me a very thorough insight and memorial into my grandmothers without being too shallow nor probing too deep for a written record.
