Five Star Small Spiral Notebook, 5 Subject, College Ruled Paper, 180 Sheets, 9-1/2" x 6", Color Will Vary, 1 Count (06184)

I started using this line of notebooks shortly after starting University when I noticed that traditional notebooks gave me far too much space to work with, and composition notebooks felt uncomfortable to keep open due to their binding. I've been purchasing them exclusively ever since. During Uni, I often found that, when taking notes, I often had far more space than I needed to write in. Feeling that it would be a waste of space (and mileage) to leave so much empty white space, I often found that my notes would be needlessly long, filled with chaff and useless tangents. Having something more compact to work with forced me to be more keen on parsing out what the actually important, key details within each lecture were to make note of. This in turn made it easier to go back through all my notes after class, as well as reviewing before tests, leaving out more free time to do other things. I own about 20 of them now, and even outside of a school environment, I find them perfect for carrying around important meetings without much bulk, keeping track of various close-related details, and altogether writing efficiently as a whole. They make great journals as a result; I even have a couple that i use for writing down recipes and other DIY instructions. I love these notebooks. They're my only go-to whenever I need one, and they've become as much of a staple as those as old Blue PILOT pens with Fine ball-point. It baffles me how big of a difference they made for me over the years. So, I hope they don't try to change or discontinue them because of the negative feedback. Especially since they seem to be from impulse buyers who didn't notice, or couldn't be bothered to observe dimensions, despite them being listed on three separate locations on the product page ! They're an inch thinner than your average composition notebooks, but just as tall and with the chunkiness of a Five Star, five subject notebook. I hope they serve you just as greatly as they've served me.

Unfortunately, I was mistaken about the size of this notebook, assuming it was a full-size notebook. It is, however, perfectly fine, the pages are all new and the cover is unscathed. The paper is a little bit thin as compared to other notebooks, but is acceptable for what I use it for (taking notes in pen for school). I haven't had any issues with ink or pencil smudging after closing the pages (I use both the front and back, so this is essential) which is great. Overall, this notebook is amazing, albeit rather small.

Nice color. Great price

I work from home as a tutor. I need to have a textbook open on my left, laptop in the middle, mousepad on the right, and notebook to the right of that. This notebook exactly fits that space and is just as Goldilocks would love: Not too big, not too little, but just right. It fits well in my hands and I love the pockets. I would just add as a product improvement that they add moveable pocket pages that we could move around, and a stiff hole-punched clear acrylic page marker to mark the place where we left off. I'd pay an extra $5 for that feature.

My family likes these durable spiral notebooks with pockets and sections.

Smaller than avertised in the pic, 9 1/2 in big, but should have read discription better. Doesnt have very many pages for each subject, maybe about 20. Good for homework or quick notes but would not hold the amount i need for a college level course. 4 stars because Amazon made the return super easy. Thanks Amazon

I use this as a workout log. In the past I have used the cheaper version and they always end up ripping and falling apart in my gym bag. These hold up very well! Paper seems a little thicker which is also a plus.

I really like the quality of this notebook. I got the white color which I liked a lot. It is a 5 subject notebook and has little pockets just like a folder. This would have been a great product for me, however, I was ignorant and did not realize how small it was going to be. I intended to use this notebook to take notes, but it is very small. Much smaller than a normal sized notebook, and therefore it was of no use to me and I tried to return it. Its great if you want something small, like a planner. It just wasn't the size for me.

Not what I expected

Práctica

Me parecen cuadernos muy prácticos por el tamaño y el diseño tanto del cuaderno como de las páginas. El papel es de excelente calidad.

You only get one note book, the title and pictures make it very misleading. Also if you are in Canada you can get it cheaper at Stables and Walmart at least in my city. I received it in good time and it was not damage, but it really is not a good value.

The photo and description are misleading. The photo shows multiple notebooks and describes it as “1 pack” leading you to believe it is a pack (multiple) of a few notebooks. It is just 1 notebook with some dividers.
