Great Price! Great Quality!
Can't go wrong with this one considering the price. Pages are white not yellow which was a nice option. Narrow or college ruled. Hard cover is a great tool for using as a clipboard type use as well. (if needed) Spiral is very nice!

Lines are too dark
I used to love these notebooks especially since the paper is high quality and the lines were light and easy on the eyes. The narrow spacing is the best. They were perfect.

Love these!
I've been looking for a notebook like this for years. The hard cover allows you to write on either side of the page with full support.

Quality Paper but cardboard cover warped
The product arrived warped with a circular pattern. Its ok for home use but would be useless if used in a meeting where you need the backing to be straight.

Fell Apart
I have used these notebooks for several years to take notes in meetings. I purchased my. last one in January and the pages are constantly fall out due to the perforations. Very disappointing.

Love!!!
This notebook was just what I was looking for. It has a hard cover with big spirals. And for the price it was such a great buy. I bought several for my colleagues and we are all very pleased. We will definitely be purchasing more!

Just as advertised
Love the heavy stiff covers; the college ruled paper with no random designs or unhelpful suggestions; better paper does not bleed through to the other side when writing with pen; also the wire binding does Not grab the pages when covers are folded back - the book lays perfectly flat.

Love
These are my favorite notebooks. I had one before and filled it up and had to get two more. I love the hard sturdy cover. I prefer wire bound notebooks and the wire on these notebooks is good and strong. Thicker than most.

Good paper sturdy cover
I use these for personal journaling. Do take care not to bend binder spiral or it will come apart.

Great notebook
Love the texture and color of the paper and of course the hard cover is important for me as it gives me a surface to write on and protects notes that I will utilize for years.

Great!
I really like this notebook. I preferred narrow lined paper since my handwriting is small. Definitely purchasing more of these.
