How large are the detachable front pockets? Would they hold a paperback book? One reviewer mentioned they would hold a sandwich, but I was hoping for more.

would be a tight fit for a paperback. I tried a kindle in it; technically it fits, but it's a tight fit, and the flap doesn't completely cover it

The front pockets are approximately 6" tall by 5" wide and expandable towards the front to approximately 3.5". You would not hold a standard grocery store NY Best Sellers List feature novel but you may accommodate a compact novella. A book on cassette tape would most certainly fit.

Definitely not big enough for a paperback book. Personally, I put sunglasses, wallet, and similar sized items in there. Plenty of other pockets inside for your books though.

They certaiy would not. The pockets are only 4×5 inches and can expand out 1-3 inches depending on how much you shove in them. The bag as a whole is much smaller than portrayed. Also, I'm not sure if this was just a fluke in my purchase or if the product is just a rip-off, but it did not come with a shoulder strap. The clips to attach one were there, but nothing else.

It's great for carrying a laptop, but it can fit maybe 2-3 large 1" thick textbooks as well. There's a lot of pockets in the second zipper compartment for pens and such. So yeah, not too bad for a school back pack. There is not much room at the top for anything else though if it is full of books.

No they are not. Kind of a bummer. If you want bigger pockets I think the sport has them but it didn't get great reviews.

The pockets measure 4x6. There is a 1" wide pocket on the side of the main pocket which can be used to insert a note or something, but you can pull at the seam and make the main pocket wider if needed (although this does result in a slightly bumpy ridge down the face of the pocket).

I would say they can hold a decent amount. Depends on what you want to put in it. They are pretty strong. If you're planning on clothing, towels, and most household items items shouldn't be a problem. If you plan on holding books I wouldn't recommend it.

No.... I have a 9x4" or something like that sized book that barely fits in the front pocket.

Yes, they are bigger. There are just two. We used this item for keeping medicine organized on a medical mission and those bigger pockets worded very well. They would also work to hold bulkier shoes like hikers or runners.

I apologize, but I did not keep the cookbook holder because it was too big under my cabinet and covered the under cabinet lighting. But after seeing it, I imagine it will hold a fairly good size book. At least one that is 8 x 10 in measurement maybe a little bigger. In thickness, probably any size as long as you don't close the holder up under your cabinet. Hope this helps.

One of the regular sized back pockets is zippered and there is another one hidden in one of the front slash pockets It's not huge - would hold some bills or change.

Approximately 17 inches wide by 15 1/2 inches high by 9 inches deep - LOADS OF POCKETS! The front pocket [shown unzipped] includes 2 small removable Velcro pouches. The picture doesn't show it, but there is a large pouch on the other side as well. Made of heavy canvas, with strong zippers.

Yes, something that small would easily fit. The three largest pockets are about 3" x 10". I would not put anything much thicker than that.

It is very big, but sounds like that could work for you. If you have lots of little stuff you might find all of the pockets convenient.

I'm and IT guy, not a student but I think it would be great for books as long as you don't carry too many. I routinely carry my MB Air, notebook and a few files back and forth to the office, and business trips. I often have a book or tablet too. Perfect for that. If you carry 3-5 large textbooks all the time, you may be happier with a backpack. I have a Swiss backpack that I take on longer trips when I have to carry more gear.I love this bag for day to day use. It's fantastic.

I'm going to be politically incorrect in this answer so you've been warned.if you're a little skinny jean wearing emo kid,no but any real pair of jeans will have enough room but don't expect it to be comfortable in a front pocket.

It would certainly hold it. Probably in just the front pocket. However, unless you have several other things, or accessories, you are carrying, I would guess this is too big.

I would certainly think so. The front hooks are adjustable; it should be no problem to use with a paperback.

front pocket is just that a pocket, no insulation. I store my forks, spoons and even vitamins there. The side pockets, absolutely no insulation...just netting for misc items. Note I cannot store soda cans on the side pockets (too small).
