• a plurality of cylindrical long posts having opposite ends adapted to be received in the recesses the retainer portion of the top panel of the spine adapted for the receipt of the pages there around;
• a removable retainer having an exterior face and plurality of internal retaining fingers, the removable retainer adapted to slidably couple in the groove of the spine and hold the cylindrical posts in an equally spaced configuration;
