If you want a blank autograph book, then read the description of this book and you'll immediately realize it isn't what you need. The reviewer who gave this book one star clearly didn't read the description of the product.

On the other hand, if you want a playful spiral-bound autograph book that will help start conversations and inspire people to browse through the book, picking a page that somehow expresses their personality or preferences, and then prompts them to sign a message where they feel most comfortable, this book is for you. It will immediately engage your child or young adult and anyone (kids or grownups) with whom they share it. It isn't branded with any specific characters (Disney, Nick Jr, PBS) which makes it appropriate for a wider range of users, too. Including adults with a whimsical sense of humor.

Our child has been a cancer patient for 6 years, and offered this book to visitors, volunteers and all sorts of medical professionals. Often, it slowed down the pace of urgency and reminded people that she's a whole person, and let her learn something unique about her caregivers, too, based on their choice of which page to sign. It was often an icebreaker when she was nervous...she could offer the autograph book in new settings and it helped to prompt conversations. People genuinely got caught up in the graphics and the goofy writing prompts and signature ideas, and forgot just why they were in her company...it took us out of an acute medical setting into a playful and escapist frame of mind.

Her collection of autographs is a treasure, and this book's clever design elicited many of the creative entries that people offered.

It's not blank. It's the opposite. But just like the title says...you take it anywhere, anyplace, anytime and offer it to anyone, and walk away with a great signature.

I was very disappointed with this book. I was simply looking for an autograph book that has blank pages, and this does not. I was very surprised when it arrived on my door. Each page is wild, and full of drawings, and it was nothing what I expected. I wanted grandparents and teachers, etc. to be able to sign the book for my child, and this certainly isn't an appropriate book for that. I don't believe that we will be able to use it. It WOULD, however, be appropriate for school age kids, who were using it for only kid signatures. But, that was not our intention.

My seven year old daughter loves loves loves this. She takes it everywhere. It has places for people to sign but the pages have ideas and suggestions; they aren't just blank.
