I waited two months before talking myself into buying a notebook. I was pretty disappointed (lesson learned) with it. The printed 'personalization' was tiny and nearly illegible, despite the image produced in online ordering which made it seem fine. Note that I didn't want or need personalization but could not sort out how to nullify that step. The notebook itself came with glue globbed on to some pages, and the binding is so unforgiving that, in order to actually write in it, I will need to crack the binding open or buy a page weight to hold pages down. The notebook was nicely wrapped up though. "Sucked in by the floral design" said my mom, and she was right...I'll know better next time.
