Abstract
A binder with at least one exterior pocket that extends along the outer exposed side of the binder is disclosed to provide additional capacity to provide easy access to selected papers, or to securely hold oversize sheets of paper, or items that are too bulky or excess items that would not fit between the binder covers. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an elastic cord may be coupled along the opening of the exterior pocket to provide additional tension along the pocket opening to securely seal the items held in the pocket.
