I haven't used this notebook yet but do like that it has perforated pages for easy tearing out. I do wish it had a harder back cover for times when you dont have a flat surface to write on.
These were the exact specifications for the school kits our sewing circle puts together for children in foreign countries. Each kit gets 4 notebooks and we like to vary the colors so that is easily done. We always need metal pencil sharpeners and those are harder to find. I do appreciate that we could be good stewards of the money given for this back-to-school project. Thank you Staples.
