Started a new job and as always you need to make notes. This pad has wide lines so that you can write big enough. It also has the 3 hole punch already on the side so that you can easily put into a binder. The perforations on the top make it easy to remove to put into binders. It is a thick pad which I personally love because I always like to have a firm surface to write one. Additionally it has a hard cover that I just flip back when I am using and then fold back over when I am finished. Good quality paper and a nice finish to it.
