This is a perfect size notebook for taking notes on books you were reading or just anything. I was looking for something smaller than my daily journal and this fits the bill.
I have purchased Staples brand 5"x7" notebooks in store before. They were out of them so I ordered online. The new books are not Staples brand they are "Tru Red" brand. Quality of the cardboard covers is not as good (thick) and the inside of the covers is not white like the Staples brand. Also the paper in the Tru Red notebooks is thinner not as bright and does not have a perforation in each sheet so they can be removed with a clean tear and used as a single sheet. I prefer the Staples brand.
