 Okay for a notebook Oct 09, 2009
By Will Power
The notebooks aren't by any means fantastic. They have no perforations to tear the pages out, and a lot of the pages were lacking lines. Buy another kind of notebook if you can.

 my favorite! Jan 10, 2009
By BlackElectronics
I love these notebooks for class. The paper is a good shade of white and they are just nice looking notebooks. Box comes with a random number of each color (yellow, red, green, turquoise, blue, and purple). Haven't been able to find these in a store anywhere.

 Good for kids but no one else May 15, 2009
By R. Paul Mccarty
In my company's relentless search to find the cheapest office supplies they stocked our storage room with these notebooks. The pages are tissue paper thin and the front/back covers are very flimsy. I feel a certain shame when I bring these notebooks to meetings.

WORK HORSES...CHEAP WORK HORSES...THIS IS GOOD. Jan 01, 2010
By D. Blankenship
Okay, there are some pretty basic reasons I use these particular notebooks. First and most importantly, they are cheap! I go through dozens upon dozens of these things a year, to the extent that cost does matter. I use them for everything...more about that later. Secondly, they are college ruled. I have a real hang up about that and have almost a phobia about using the wider ruled note books. Thirdly, the quality of the paper is what I want...it holds ink pretty well, are better than some about ink bleeding through, but most importantly, it holds simple old graphite from my pencils. The white color of the pages makes my feeble attempts at penmanship readable and does not stress my eyes in the bright sun light. For me, these notebooks are simply work horses.
Now if I were setting on the Board of Directors of a Fortune 500 company, I probably would not use these things during meetings (well, actually I would, cause I am me, but most people would not), but as I do not hold such a dubiously exalted position, and it is a pretty good bet that I never will, I need not worry about appearances in that particular setting.
I do use these things for everything else though. As I read, I take notes. I am a list maker and manically and obsessively create list of just about anything you can imagine. I have lists dating back for well over 60 years, many of which I have no clue as to what I was listing or why, but never-the-less, I have my precious lists. These books are ideal for making shopping lists, chore lists, things to do lists and more. Having different colors is a big advantage when you are a multiple list maker like me as it helps to organize things a bit. I also use these to "write things down" as I have problems with my memory at times. I wish I could say that this was because I am getting a bit long in the tooth, but that would be a lie. I have been forgetting things since I was a wee lad and learned a long time ago that it is best to write things down. I have boxes and trunks filled with old notebooks of things I was an am suppose to remember...never look at most of them of course, but they are there if I need them! I am also an obsessive drawer and these are ideal for making rough sketches and strange designs.
I like these thinner 70 page models over the thicker three or more subject ones as I tend to lose many of these notebooks and it is nicer to lose a few pages versus many pages.
I must have hundreds of these things filled from cover to cover from my school days. My children will no doubt have a wonderful burning one of these days.
Are these books a pure class act? Hardly, but they are cheap, serviceable, easy to find and extremely functional. It has been years since I felt the need to impress anyone with my writing materials (actually, that is a lie also, due to the fact that to the best of my knowledge, I have never felt this need to impress anyone as to the aspect of my life), and I seriously doubt if I will change my way as I have gotten worse about such things over the years.
This is a very good buy here on Amazon and it is good to throw a few of these things with your order so you can hit the no shipping fee zone.
I highly recommend this serviceable product.

Its just a notebook guys Sep 13, 2011
By V
It's really just a simple, single subject notebook. With lined paper in it. Is there really anything else to say?
I only bought these because classes already started for me and I didn't have anything to take notes on, but seriously, there is no good reason for anyone to pay over a dollar for these kinds of notebooks - let alone over $3. Its nothing special, you don't even get to decide what color you're getting, and the sheets aren't perforated so tearing it out is a hassle if you want it clean and neat.
I would've given it one star because of how much they rip you off but I gave it two because its college ruled. Very generous of me I know.
Just the other day I went to Walmart and got two notebooks - for 20 cents each. They are college ruled. They have perforated sheets. The lines are as straight as the ones in these. They have the same number of pages. AND I was able to decide what color I wanted. I'm sure you can get similar deals at Office Depot or wherever other office supply is close to your home.
