I use these notebooks in my job at a two year college. I have been an educator for 44 years and I have bought lots of notebooks. These are the best because they are sturdy have a nice reusable subject label on the spine are easily cleaned and have the easiest three ring opener ever devised. Turning pages (lots of pages) is easier than in other two inch notebooks. Usually the rings in two inch binders become misaligned and pages come unattached making a mess that has to be adjusted repeatedly. That problem has not happened with these notebooks.
Open / close works great rubber non-slip surface is a plus for holding binder on slanted surfaces. I have been using this type of binder long enough and found it good enough to buy three (3) more. GREAT BINDER!!!!
I needed this large notebook to hold all the treasurer's information for a local club. The rings on the previous notebook wouldn't hold together and were really a pain. These rings don't seem very tight but I hope they will last.
I have been couponing for a few months. I purchased numerous binders that continuously fell apart at the spine. So I decided to finally invest the money in a good strong binder. This one is thick and bound well at the spine. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a durable binder.
These notebooks are incredibly sturdy--lay flat while open-open and close easily and come in awesome colors. I have one for each of my literature units as well as student record keeping. They stack nicely and look beautiful on a bookshelf.
