A great deal for a notebook

The college ruled compostion book is still the best littlle big book for taking notes. I wanted something that I could carry with me to the many historical society meetings I attend. The distinct cover makes it easy to locate. The college ruling allows more info per page. A simple Post-It creates meeting or society separations. It's discreet and sits easily on my lap and can fit in a large over-the-shoulder bag. In short this is a great bargain that provides lots of paper with a great cover.
Simple classic notebook is great for all those ideas creative imaginings mundane to do lists etc. Love it! Much better organizational tool than writing on a piece of paper that will get lost. Or if you have a piece of paper with a note tape it into the book to keep it from getting lost!
I bought this on sale and although it does what I need it to do you can still feel that's it's not as high quality materials. The binding keeping the notebook together seems like it'll easily get torn through the usage of the notebook and the cardboard cover is easily bent. It doesn't fold well making it awkward to try and write in it. It's good for it's purpose but can be uncomfortable to try to find a way to write in it. It's a good size. I would've liked it to have been more sturdy but you get what you pay for.
These notebooks are nicer that the traditional string wrapped Composition Notebooks. My daughter loves that they come in a variety of colors and designs.
This is your typical well made composition book well bound and fairly sturdy. The cardboard is not very thick. It is thick enough as a cover but not as thick (like cardboard) as your name brand composition book.
