The price was great for this size notebook. There was an assortment of colors to choose from which was important to me due to the number of things I will be using it for.
I purchased a quantity of these 70-page one-subject notebooks in the wide-ruled variety. These along with a variety of Staple's merchandise will be a gift to an elementary school teacher for distribution to kids in her inner city classroom. The paper quality is good and the durability of the covers (back and front) should enable long-lasting use. Classroom teachers prefer use of these notebooks to use of loose-leaf notebooks especially for younger age groups. All their notes are secure in one binding.
The Staples one-subject spiral notebooks are a bit disappointing. The sheets are thin and the perforations rip too easily. Suddenly pages that had been bound into the notebook are on the lam--somewhere. It is not easy to fasten them back into the notebook. The spiral wire does not stay closed at each end--the wire gets caught on other notebooks and other objects in general. The wire is thin and not as strong as some as because of that the notebook coil tends to get crushed in a backpack or when carrying a stack of text books. Even more disappointing was that although the cover color selection was good--more than at some competitors' stores --the only ruling available was wide-ruled not what I use. I use college ruled. I have seen this happen other years at Staples--only wide ruled is available at least on sale. The lowest price was more than at some other stores Therefore I bought most of the spiral notebooks I needed elsewhere.
The one subject notebooks are wonderful!!! I got about thirty of them over the past couple weeks my husband is back in school and my grandkids start 1st and 2nd grade in two weeks. My husband has already gone through two of them and my grandkids go back to school on th e twenty-fifth of this month and will be getting full use out of them. I will still be coming back for more school supplies this week. These notebooks are as good as any of the ones that you pay more fore just saved me a ton of money!!!
