We loved the great fashion colors and the plain covers. The kids only care about how they look and they like them to have a cool color and as little printed on the cover as possible. I (and the kids) love them!
I use notebooks to take notes. I find notebooks with different graphics like bubble for subject etc for notes are smaller than 8x10 and are bound like a journal as well s being pricey. I would like this notebook with a stronger perfor. to tear pages out cleanly and some updated graphics for notes in an essay/outline manner.
I love this notebook. I can take it with me and when I am are done tear out the pages and file or put in 3 ring binder. I can also use for organization with each project a different color.
