Takeout Menu Holder - Chinese Spiral-bound by New Holland Publishers (New Holland Publishiers)



This is spiral-bound inside with pages that have pockets. The organizer has a book look and feel about it and will fit in well next to your cookbooks.
The pages are tabbed with cuisines that are not customizable unless you intend on using a label maker.
The tabs include: Italian, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Desserts, and Others.
In the back there are 12 lined sheets with the chinese takeout box in the lower corner for notes, phone #'s, and etc.
In the back, there are 3 business card sheets that hold 8 each.
The inside back of the organizer also has a pocket for misc.

If it was only Asian cuisine tabs, I'd chalk it up to the exterior appearance and I'd be pretty OK with it, but it's not. It has Italian - sure, but all of those others (Middle Eastern & Indian) and no Mexican? No American? I would've preferred to have had one Asian tab, and then a few other cuisines. Even a tab insert option would be good. Maybe not for all of them but at least for a couple.

My ony other semi-complaint is the size. Most of my takeout menus fit but there are some that are just too long to fit in without hanging out the top - mostly the chinese ones. I'd look at your pile of favorite takeout menus and measure first.

In summary: The look is great and it's well put together but the tabbing system is very restrictive. If you're fine with the tabs I listed, you'll probably love the organizer. Me? I'll probably end up looking for another organizer somewhere down the road but this'll do in the meantime.
