I have been using Black n' Red ruled notebooks with spiral binding for several years. My spouse used to say that I am a "notebook snob," but, after using one of my notebooks, he asked me to give him one of mine. As I put it, at this price, these are the Mercedes of notebooks. I have no complaints about these notebooks. I love that those with the red spiral binding lay flat because writing is so much more convenient this way. They also are very attractive, and the quality of the paper and overall binding and cover is excellent. I tend to buy several at once and use them for personal and business purposes. That the sheets are perforated and tear out without shredding is a big plus.
Pros: Binding, Black and red color cover, Professional Quality, Quality Writing Surface, Well Built / Quality
Originally got these for my husband and have reordered for him. We both love this little notebook. The size is great - big enough to take good notes but small enough to be very portable. Hard cover protects pages and withstands a lot of "banging around". We've purchased 6 to date.
