As a librarian, I'm constantly schlepping huge quantities of books from school-to-school for classroom story times. I was using a shoulder bag and developing back pain and thought I'd try a smaller, wheeled bag. I bought it on a whim as a Gold Box, read the one horrible review, tried to cancel and was too late. When I got this I was glad I did not. This bag is sturdy enough for books and quite good looking. I love the hidden handle feature and am pleased with my purchase--definitely a keeper and a splendid overnight bag too.
