A tab assembly is slideably mounted within at least the front cover pocket, and the pocket is formed from a transparent plastic sheet such that the tab assembly is viewable through the transparent sheet. The tab assembly may include a support sheet and display sheet. The display sheet may be any type of information or display material as long as it is dimensionally smaller than the support sheet.
