 Honestly, over $6.00 for one notebook? August 10, 2010
Joseph E. Grammier (VA)
Just a warning that it is NOT one stack, one case - it is ONE NOTEBOOK. Boy do I feel ripped off!!
 The most amazing notebook I have ever used in my life April 7, 2010
M. Lucas (San Antonio, TX)
The lines are very straight within these pages. The notebook feels very crisp and is perfect for my needs. I use this notebook for note taking while taking university classes. It is amazing.
No Good Any More February 11, 2010

I bought a big bunch of these four years ago and they were excellent, better than anything I could find anywhere else.
I just bought another batch of these at the beginning of 2010 and they are AWFUL. Cheap, flimsy, exactly what all the other notebooks were like four years ago.
I've no idea what I'll be buying next, but it WON'T be these (unless someone out there is selling "Vintage" Mead Notebooks.
Flimsy! January 17, 2010

I hope this isn't what spiral notebooks are like these days. I ordered one on a whim to take notes in at home but I am sure it would not stand up to trips in my backpack. In a matter of days the covers were bent and creased and they seem as if they will simply come off the spiral if pulled much. And the whole notebook seems to flop around when you pick it up; there's just nothing to it. I had this side by side to a notebook I have had and used for the last three years and it was sturdier than the new one!
WORK HORSES...CHEAP WORK HORSES...THIS IS GOOD. January 1, 2010
D. Blankenship (The Ozarks)
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.
