A book has a front cover having a first edge which is unconnected, and an opposing second edge which is connected to a spine. A back cover has a first edge which is connected to the spine and an opposing second edge which is connected to flexible joint or fold-line. The book has a third cover having a first edge which is connected to the flexible joint, that couples the third cover to the back cover, and an opposing second edge which is connected to binding. The front cover is configured to fold back about the spine to retain the third cover proximal the outer edge of the third cover to retain the book in a propped-up position for reading. A page holder slides along the left and right sides of the third cover and has an opening that allows a page to be pushed therethrough.

A comprehensive, all-in-one planning calendar and personal organizer structured and arranged to permit a user to be better organized, and to keep all their daily essentials from iPad to smartphone to business-cards, files, flash drives, pens, petty cash and more in one easily carried, instantly accessible device.

The invention relates to a protective cover (10) with a base, two side walls (20), a front wall, a rear wall and a lid, wherein the protective cover (10) comprises a blank (12) which is formed integrally and is composed of a plastics material. The blank (12) has a base region (24), a rear wall region (18), a front wall region (16), two side wall regions (20) and a lid region (22), and the blank (12) is folded in a cuboidal shape. Furthermore, it is provided that the protective cover (10) has connecting elements (14) with magnetic elements and optionally counter elements, wherein the connecting elements (14) are designed and arranged in such a manner that the edges of the blank (12) that butt against one another in the folded cuboidal shape are held together by the connecting elements (14) which exert magnetic attraction forces on one another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a folding sheet (11) which can be folded to form such a protective cover (10).

A cover is releasably secured over an opening by an apparatus or a fastener system and may be used in a book-clock system having a clock movement housed within a space hollowed through the book's pages. A clock shaft protruding from the movement passes through an opening in a fastening element and then through a hole in the book's front cover. The clock shaft supports and moves the clock hands on the front. The fastening element may be a flexible strip. It may be positioned in a U-shape about the clock movement so at least a ferromagnetic part of the fastening element is adjacent to portion of the clock movement facing the back cover. A magnet is positioned on the back cover so when closed, the magnet meets the ferromagnetic part of the fastening element. A magnetic force is exerted and releasably holds the back cover of the book closed.

A notebook may generally comprise a plurality of sheets of paper, a binding mechanism binding the plurality of sheets together, and a cover bound to the plurality of sheets of paper disposed therebetween, the cover comprising first and second opposed covers, the first cover including a first portion and a second portion and having a hinge line extending therebetween, wherein the second portion is pivotable about the hinge line between a closed position and an open position. A notebook cover is also described.
