Customer Reviews

The manufacturer's description of the notebook is accurate. In addition, the cover protects the interior quite nicely and the paper weight is heavy. A cloth spine binds the notebook together and appears to be fairly tough.
I purchased two of these notebooks initially to test their usefulness as a note taking medium at the Naval Test Pilot School. After one week of class and homework, I have used the first 50 pages. The paper is truly a joy to write on. The quad rule lines are perfect for writing notes, drawing graphs and charts, and using equations. I have found that my handwriting has improved noticeably as I try to use not only the horizontal lines but the vertical lines to aid letter and word spacing.
The cloth spine binds the pages closely together, making the last inch of the left page unusable in the first 30 pages. Since the right side of the notebook has more pages and is heavier, it tended to lay flat while the left pages curved away from the table to meet the binding. This problem may be visualized by trying to read the beginning of a large paperback book that is laying with the right side flat on a surface. I was able to compensate for this issue somewhat by creasing the left page as close to the spine as possible, but still wound up with the last inch of the paper without a solid surface under it. This problem will likely diminish as I near the center of the notebook and then switch to the right side as I get near the end.
Despite the issue with the unusable space, I really enjoy using these notebooks. After seeing how fast I am going through my first one I purchased 4 more, and intend to keep using them throughout my year at the school.

I use these notebooks for my lab work and I think they are great. I wanted several things without pay too much and this has it.
The green color is easy on the eyes
the pages are already numbered
the size allows you to paste a full 8 1/2 x 11 printout into it when necessary
the binding holds through lots of abuse and lays open
enough pages to last but not be heavy (part of why I prefer a soft cover)
paper is thick enough that writing doesn't show through to the other side
at $7 a piece, this also happened to be the cheapest notebook that came close to what I wanted.
If I were to wish for one thing different, it would be 5x5 squares per inch instead of 4x4 but that is seriously difficult to find and not everyone's preference.
