A Better Notebook
on January 21, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I have used a lot of notebooks for classes and work. They are dropped in my pack and hauled out to take note make drawings on and store handouts. The Accel handles all that without any problems. Other notebooks start showing wear quickly. They get tattered and creased the corners get blunted and the covers stained. But the Accel has a poly cover that shrugs off liquids; doesn't blunt or tear. the back cover is sturdy as well though made of fiberboard. But one of my favorite things to like is the binding. On most notebooks the coils are thin and bend easily. This binding has a much heavier wire and holds up without getting bent. With others no matter how carefully they are bent back into shape they never work quite right. I might wish that the paper was heavier than the other notebooks but that just makes this as good and not better. All in all it is the best I have found.
We purchase these for our sons for high school and college because the cover is strong and the notebook remains intact the entire semester. We try to wait for a sale to purchase them because we need so many. These notebooks are priced the best during back to school sales.
These poly-covered notebooks are my favorites. They come in plenty of colors and the poly cover makes them sturdier than cardboard-covered notebooks. They're just like the Mead 5-stars only less expensive-- a real bargain.
