Been using them for several years now. They are really great- you can put the pages in plastic and into a three ring binder. PARTICULARLY nice for ICW travel.

Couple of minor points. Not all pages show a compass rose, and not all have lat-long shown on side, and it's kinda difficult to lay out a long trip using them. Say when  trying to set up a route or course over a 40 or 50 mile leg.

Well worth while though. A friend down loaded the chart booklet onto to a thumb drive and had them printed by a print shop, in color, matching the chart exactly. Mine are all in B/W, which works well for intercoastal travel.
