Needed composition books for two of the children in school ages 9 year and 15 years old. Variety of colors are great for different classes. Each child has their own favorite colors also which make them desirable. I would recommend these to any parent with school aged children. I also use these for hand writing notes for home inspections while on site. For continuing education I have used these while taking various classes. This product has been sturdy and reliable for me and for the chidren.
