Cambridge Business Notebook, Quad Ruled Paper, 8-1/2" x 11", 70 Sheets, Wirebound, Ivory Paper (06194)

**EDIT** I would just like to say that in my primary review, my only tiny complaint was that the cover was not as durable as I would like..3/4 through a semester and the notebook cover can look pretty ragged. On my last order, one of the two notebooks came with 5 (count em' FIVE!) card stock covers before you even get to the pocket cover. I find this comical and very amusing. This has only reaffirmed my allegiance to this notebook of superior quality. I had been using another MEAD quadrille graph notebook for a couple years for note-taking in my science classes (mostly math and chemistry) but was a little bummed to find the grid-lines suddenly appeared to be darker (the very reason I had been using the product was because of its paler lines) I was very happy when these arrived. The grid-lines are unobtrusive and the paper seems to be of good quality (doesn't tear when using a heavy eraser). I was also happy to find there is a small "pocket folder" behind the main cover, great for holding a course syllabus (although I wouldn't cram too much into this folder). Perforated edges for nice, clean tears. This was very pleasing. I use 0.9mm lead and it shows up great on this paper. There is no blurring of pen/pencil stroke vs. grid-line, which is why this notebook will be perfect for me this upcoming semester. If I could suggest one minor improvement, I would like to see the cover made a bit more durable. I have no doubt it would easily protect most of the pages during a light rain or snow, but the cover is made of a card-stock-like material. I should mention the cover pictured is one of two covers, behind the pictured cover is a professional looking black cover with a simple blue stripe near the bottom edge with "Cambridge" centered. I labeled over this as it seemed a nice place to distinguish which notebook was for which class (I bought two). If you were to leave both covers on (they are made of the same material) it may offer a bit more protection, but I am not too worried about this affecting the quality of this notebook.

Perfect notebook - I've bought this multiple times and will continue to replenish as I fill up the pages. For context: I'm a full-time working professional in corporate strategy with a Fortune 500 company. - Appearance: the cover can be torn off to reveal a plain, black glossy cover, which is perfect for carrying into a meeting without being flashy or juvenile, as many spiral notebooks are - Back Cover: using a ruler, it appears the back cardboard is about 4.5mm in thickness. In other words, I can walk and write and it does not bend at all - Pages: the perforation lets me tear out pages perfectly. And, excellent foresight - the notebook itself is slightly larger than 8.5x11 paper because once the page is torn out, it's exactly the same size as copier paper. Other notebooks are 8.5x11, but the paper itself when torn out is smaller than copier paper and gets lost in a stack. - Grid: the lines are not terribly bold but very standard. By the way, as an OCD person, I do have to mention that at the edges, it does not end exactly at the end of a grided box, but not even Clairefontaine notebooks do this so it's fine. - Bleeding: Yes, when I use a felt tip or a gel ink pen, it does bleed through the paper. I prefer to use one side so when I walk and write, people can't see my other notes (confidentiality purposes), so it's not a problem for me. Very highly recommend.

This notebook is the best in which I have ever had the pleasure of writing. The paper is golden yellow, which just seems smarter than plain white. I take notes in it, and the graph-paper lines are not hard on the eyes even with long sentences. I write with a very heavy hand, and so there are indents on the back of each page...but not on the next page! This thick paper is a thrilling first for me. The ink never bleeds through--and I have used all sorts of ink. The cover is a simple black (the cover shown in the picture is just a paper cover that you remove once you get it), and just inside the cover is a little paper pocket for a syllabus, loose worksheets, and returned homework. I, being fairly unorganized, just stuffed about half a sheaf of papers in that pocket over the course of a semester and the bottom of the pocket frayed and eventually broke--but that is just a result of my own failure to find a better place for all that work. Currently, I am using this for an AP Chemistry class, and I will buy a closet-full of these before I go to college. The only potential drawback is the fact that it only has 70 pages, so I have to buy a new one for each semester. But personally...I really don't mind, because there is nothing quite like cracking open a new, beautiful notebook and writing on the first page! I wholeheartedly recommend these notebooks for literally ANY science or math class (even if you secretly don't need the quadrille paper for that class). I am in love with this notebook, and I am never going back to any other.

I never thought I'd have strong feelings about graph paper. When I was getting my masters degree, I needed graph paper for my econ assignments, and the TA recommended this notebook. Having it in a notebook made it much easier to work with than loose leaf, or in a three ring binder. The paper is nice and thick, and the cover is durable which makes a huge difference near the end of a semester of schlepping problem sets around. Why is most graph paper so flimsy? This is a nice notebook and the fact that it comes in graph paper is a bonus. It's always great when a notebook comes with a folder, I used it to carry the problem set I was working on at a given time. I LOVE the perforated pages. Is there anything worse than a spiral bound notebook without perforated pages? I purchased a second one when I took another econ class the following semester, but I didn't need as much graph paper. This past fall when my intern at work was taking the same econ course I'd taken three years earlier, I gave them my leftover notebook exclaiming. "This is the only graph paper you should ever buy!" The graph lined notebook that made me a stationary geek.

Through out my education , I like organizing my notes in notebooks so I have a huge collection of them. Since I go through them over and over again, durability is an important factor and I came across all different sorts of notebooks (good and bad). Squared (Quad) notebooks are the most convenient to take notes since you make the most of the space and it is easy to draw figures etc. And if you go through your notes over and over wire bound is way better than the classical ones since you can study them everywhere without taking up much space. However, in most wire bound notebooks, it is the wiring that causes the biggest hassle. Those non continuous wires where each wire makes an individual circle with a narrow opening in one spot, mostly fail due to the widening of the gap which allows the pages to go out. Luckily this one is continuous wire with a mechanism that prevents the pages going out of the spiral. However The wire is thin and circles are big and that makes them vulnerable to external physical damage. I carry my notebooks in my backpack with many other books notebooks etc and they get cramped under pressure. This may deform the wires and distort their alignment so that pages do not turn smoothly and in time that may tear the pages. That is the biggest drawback for this type of notebooks. I liked the front and back covers, they look pretty durable and I also liked the nostalgic feel of the paper (not shiny white, a little yellowish) However pages does not have holes that can be used to archive them in folders and there is no perforated line to smoothly tear pages (not a big deal but I wanted to point out this for those who are interested in such functionality) One other thing to mention is the paper quality. It is okay but if you use pointed ink pen still you can see it on the following page which means the quality is not the greatest I have ever seen. After years of experience, the golden standard notebooks I have seen are from Black n Red brand (They have small circles of double wiring system and each circle is complete with no gap) They also have higher quality paper and cover. However, I could not find quadrangular (Squared) wirebound form of them in this country (I used to buy them bulk when I was in UK) I will keep looking for that brand and model but this can be a replacement with adequate quality if I can not. Yet this does not make it as great as that one...

Great thickness of paper. Great for school work. I love it when im writing in pencil and have to erase that it dosent rip because of the thickness of the paper. Love the graph paper, not just for Math subjects, I use it for everyday note taking and even a to-do list!

Excellent quality, well made and hard back provides a sturdy surface for writing on the go.

There are some things in life that people would never believe just how difficult they are to find. One of them is a spiral notebook with graphing paper.... Why can't local Walmart, Target or Kroger's carry them in quantities similar to the college ruled ones so we don't have to order them? I may never know, but thankfully they can be ordered at all. The yellow color may throw some people off, but if you do your work well, then your professors are sure to remember the color (unfortunately, the opposite may be true as well for those who slack off). The color, however, is by no means a deal breaker and I have gotten used to it right after packing it into my bookbag. The pages are thicker than the flimsy three ring binder bundles available in most stores, so they will tear along the perforated line instead of ripping into the paper. I wish the squares were smaller, but they are standard American sized (German Hefte typically have smaller squares, but that is the only comparison I know). Overall, I am extremely happy with the purchase. It greatly facilitates taking notes in class with the respective equations by adding those extra vertical lines that college ruled books lack. Price could be lower, but I have seen more expensive ones, too. This is well worth it.

Tolle Hefte 😃😃😃

Produto muito, as folhas são grossas e são amarelas e também a capa fina e a de trás grossa, mas para mim está perfeito 🥰🥰🥰

Recomendable

I purchased a few different options to test which one I liked best. This is the one. I will buy more.

My favourite notebook of all time! The pages are high quality and feel thick to the touch! Great for students.
