My trip this day to Staples was specifically for this item. I saw an ad on TV and the notebooks were selling for an incredible price. I use this size notebook for the rough drafts of the children's books that I write. I have plenty of room for rewrites and scetches. I also use the notebook for a place to log in ideas that swoop into my brain when I least expect them. By the time I have finished the writing of the book I have pretty much filled the notebook. Then the notebook is filed away for future reference. When I'm assigned to write a sequel the notebook is a great reference source.
