Mead Spiral Notebook, 1 Subject, College Ruled Paper, 7-1/2" x 10-1/2", 70 Sheets, Color Will Vary (05512)

Perfect for school!

Let me just say that if this notebook had any actual flaws, e.g. the paper gets stuck on the spiral ring (literally the worst problem I can think of when it comes to notebooks) or if some pages were blank, then I would not be so quick to dismiss the snooty notebook connoisseurs who rag on this item. There is not a single complaint any normal, sane person could make about these notebooks. They are the cheapest you can find and just as functional as any other bound grouping of lined papers. Yes, it is a bit floppy. Yes, the pages are thin enough that the next page will have faint and barely-noticeable pressure marks from your pen or pencil. Yes, your first-world sensitivities will be offended by all this. Who cares? It's $1 and the main market consists of starving college students who subsist on ramen that costs less than your typical notebook. Buying this notebook for cheap allows us to invest 300% more in ramen.

This purchase is such a no brainer. Note that Amazon only lets you buy one with each order, but it can help you make the $25 free shipping threshold. At present, these are going for 48 cents versus the 51 cents I paid. You cannot purchase these in the grocery store for that price, which is where I usually get them. I go through these notebooks regularly, using them for shopping lists and planning events. Okay, I'm getting to the point that at times I have to write things down because I can't remember them otherwise. You say, why not post its? Yes, I use those too, but occasionally the project is much more than a post it can handle. For instance, when I go away for one or two weeks, there are a number of things I have to remember to do during the seven days before I leave. So, I dedicate a page for each day and write down the things that have to be done. Similarly, Thanksgiving is coming up. For the two weeks prior, I have a ton of things that need to be done before T Day, and then each day I check off the things as they are completed. Never mind Christmas. You get the idea. I don't care about whether there is a particular quality to the paper or whether the perforation is perfect. The pages are torn out as tasks are completed. And yes, I have even given them to my grandkids for their school projects, with no complaints.

My girls are headed back to school. They needed quite a few spirals to help them. I wanted something that was not to costly but at the same time not all the same color. These spirals did the trick. They are made from a average quality paper with a nice sturdy spiral. They come in great colors allowing my girls to have a different one for each subject. Since my girls are still young, these will be perfect and get the job done. I would also recommended them for college. They are perfect for a math class or anything that will be short term use. Overall if you still are in school or have kids, these are amazing. They will get the job done.

Finally I found a spiral without the tear out pages. My husband and I use these notebooks for many things. When you pack it around the pages stay put and don't all fall out unlike all the new perforated ones. It's nice to have perforated when your in school and need to tear out. Many people are not in school and just need a good notebook. I looked through virtually every store I come into and I never saw these. It figures one search on the web and there they are. Thanks for continuing to make these.

what I was looking for. They are as described but not pictured. The ones I received have the SFI Certified Sourcing leaf design, which were incidentally the ones I was hoping to receive, so it's all to the good. Non-perforated, so good for those who don't need or want the paper to come out. The paper is nice, but not premium, obviously, and it comes from a third-party certified responsible and renewable source. Great value, great price, good for our world. Btw, I ordered 5 and got the colors: green, red, yellow, purple, and the lighter blue. Edit: I forgot to mention that they arrived pretty fast; 3 or 4 days. 2nd Edit: when I bought these they were pretty cheap; around 1-2 dollars each. Also, maybe you should read the details closer next time you buy something online. The description clearly says it's one per order and lists the available colors. Be savvy.

When I bought it it made it look as if you where getting 6 notebooks not 1 . The oy reason I picked this option. Would like a refund. I needed the notebook for a work class or it'd gone right back. Do better with advertisements. Oh well I see after A MANY complaints the ad now states 1 book

These notebooks notebook very well
