I love these spiral notebooks! The spiral part is very durable. This holds up to a year of use. I have 4 children and I insist that we get these. I have found them even better than the "Premium" ones by another national brand. The paper is perforated if you would like to cleanly remove it from the spiral. The pages stay in if you want to leave them in. I love the new patterns Staples came out with! Wouldn't start school without them
We love these notebooks. They hold up to the wear and tear of a high school backpack and locker. The front pocket holds all your pertinent papers and is strong enough to survive the year. This is our third year purchasing the accel notebooks. Definitely worth every penny!
