I bought this thinking it was a book full of helpful homeschool organizational forms. However, there are only a couple of types: an attendance sheet, a curriculum sheet, and a daily journal entry page. There are literally 180 of the same page in this book, one for each day of the semester. This is designed to actually write in rather than being a book of reprducables. I'll still use this, but it would have been more helpful to me to have files to print so I could put them in a binder. A url is given at the bottom of each page that says you can go and do just that, but the book is so old that the website is not operational anymore.
For what this is, it seems pretty decent.
