I was disappointed in the nelson books paperback version of this book. It is only 5 1/4 by 5 1/4 inches. That amount of page space does not give much room to respond to the questions and truly write a life story. My husband has an 8 1/2 by 5 1/4 size book which he has really enjoyed writing in and I had purchased these to give to our sons. I will find the regular book size for them, these are too small.
