As a teacher and coach I gave these note books to my crew to use as workout journals and to my Composition students to use as free-writing journals. I also made occasional use of them myself. They were inexpensive (I purchased 25 of them on sale) and came in lots of pretty colours. They also held up throughout the school year which is always impressive.
I found this product during their going back to school sale for [$] and bought some with the thoughts that it would good to have around the house and that is it. Upon use I found this product to be great for my note taking in my Bio class for starting a paper that I had to write and for doodling during class.
I bought these notebooks for my students to use as daily journals. I usually use the three-prong paper folders but they ran out of paper/space for more paper too quickly. I'm a little wary of the spiral binding as I would be of any spiral bound notebook because my students will be the ones in charge of taking them in and out of the notebook drawer for their class. In my own personal use of these notebooks I have never had a problem! Overall at the price I paid I couldn't get a better notebook.
