Once I get about 2/3 through the notebook. The pages start falling out. I've been using these for probably 20 years and only in the past 5 or 6 has the construction been such that they are worthless once you get 2/3 through the notebook.
I absolutely hate this product so much. I have only been using it for a week and it has already fell apart. I used to like Mead. What happened? This notebook is absolute trash. DO NOT BUY!!!!! I hate it so much. I am a student and I purchased this for $4, expecting great quality from the one and only Mead brand. I am very, very disappointed and I would like a refund.
Cons: VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY WEAK BINDING, Weak Binding
If you can get past the fact that the binding is not that great this is great graph paper for math courses. I like using the side with smaller squares so my math problems don't take up as much space. This is especially great for when you have to graph lines and such.
Pros: Bright White, Professional Quality, Quality Writing Surface
Nice, quality paper. I like the size of the grid on the FRONT SIDE. For some reason, the squares are slightly smaller on the back side of each paper. It makes the back side feel cramped when I write in the lines. Not sure if it was a factory defect or poor design choice.
This is honestly the worst notebook I have ever had. Every time you write or turn the page, paper will fall right out. I do not know why they bothered to have perforated pages because it is even easier to rip the pages out of the binding. Just shaking the book will result in a couple pages falling out.
Pros: So Bad It's Laughable
Cons: Flimsy Construction, Paper falls out, Weak Binding
I was going to say it is a quality writing surface. It's not. I was going to say it's good for taking notes. It's not. The thing is, whenever you try to do anything with this notebook, even turn the page, the pages fall out like ripe fruit from a tree. Sure, you can try to tuck them back in. But they'll just fall right back out again. Its lousy mass of papers has embarrassed me in front of my friends, as they tap their feet waiting for me to find my place without spilling papers everywere. Which inevitably does happen. My poor friends. This notebook will haunt your dreams. It's that bad.
I teach graphing and coordinate geometry to middle school and high school students. This notebook is much more useful than individual sheets of graphing paper for doing problems in class and for homework. I also use this notebook for my own planning and organizational purposes. The graphing grids are helpful for a number of reasons. I love this product, especially because it lacks the cumbersome wires that other notebooks have. I would not, however, use it for taking notes in history or biology.
Pros: Bright White, Professional Quality, Quality Writing Surface, Well Built / Quality
This notebook upon first use on my college notes the binding unglued and the pages went everywhere. I would not recommend this piece of garbage to anyone. This notebook can be used to make paper balls to shoot at the waste can.
