Cambridge Spiral Notebook, College Ruled Paper, 8-1/2" x 11", 70 Sheets, Top Bound, Navy (59882)

Nice tablets. The college rule I really enjoy because it is a shorter space between lines than wide ruled paper which is good for me because it keeps my writing smaller. The weight of the pages is really high quality too. The notebooks I use for business I write ideas and make sketches and do things in them and I try to dedicate one notebook at a time to one client. There may be more that one notebook going per client but there are never multiple clients in one notebook. These notebooks are exactly what I need to get out my ideas and keep a steady stream of thought going. I am able to really drill down an idea or flush out all the kinks in a project when I am working on one of these notebooks because the flipping back and forth from top to bottom works well for me and these are top spiral bound. But they have tear away pages so if something like a sketch or an outline needs to make it into a file then all the crazy crinkles at the top come off completely and the sheet lies flat in the file. I use a certain kind of pens with a black low smudge ink and I also use water color markers to do sketches of layouts and things C that need to be represented visually and everything stays together also I use these large lined post it’s to mark pages and hang out the edges of the tablet just slightly so I can flip to what I might need to refer to right away without having to look through every page. Versatile. High quality. Bright bright white pages waiting to be filled with the possibilities of any number of new ideas.

I just received this notebook. Like a couple of other customers, I too LOVE Cambridge notebooks...for many years, but there's nothing wrong with this Mead Cambridge. It's a quality notebook and arrived pretty quickly after my order. I vividly recall paying quite a bit more for products that were labeled "Cambridge". This was very low cost and I think I received a book of a higher quality than the price charged. I'm not going to compare the spiral quality, etc. to others. That's been done and sometimes quality is in the eye of the beholder. I do a lot of writing with fountain pens. I just tested this book and didn't have any bleed-through. Will that always be the case? I don't know. Time will tell. I just saw a cheaply priced book, a name I knew from school, and for practicing letters or jotting down thoughts, it looks like this notebook will do just fine and again I'll say... look at the price. If you prefer another brand, then buy that one and don't order this cheaper notebook and complain about the quality. I've whittled down my lists on notebooks as the higher priced at an average of $16/book. Those higher priced books, as of yet, haven't equaled this Mead Cambridge, plus the higher priced ones are almost always are smaller in size - such as A5 and smaller. Just as with fountain pens, no one is always going to like everything someone else does. If you need a utility notebook give it a try. If you don't like it... then you're not out a lot of money. I've paid more for books of a lesser quality. Think about it... and give it a try. There is nothing "wrong" with this notebook. It's just a matter of preference. You might find that you are pleased with both this notebook's quality AND it's price! Oh, and mine came in a padded envelope. I've had small orders shipped in boxes too large for the contents before but maybe Amazon is becoming less wasteful.

Long sheets for plenty of writing, has strong cardboard back for steady writing, has spiral for keeping sheets you want to keep.

I’ve been using this notebook for 20 years. It has thinner lines, a perforated edge if you need to tear out a page and a nice weight to the paper. The back is cardboard so it’s easy to take notes. I take notes at meetings to help with memory retention then if I plan to save them, I tear out the page and scan it to my efiles.

I like these type of tablets. They have a surdy cardboard back tha that allows more flexibility in using. The size is good nd I think it is a good value for the money,

For 6$ I am happy with the cardboard backing so it’s not as flimsy, however paper is cheap and scratchy. I was expecting more smooth paper like other notebooks I own. I also was a bit unhappy with the stretched out spiral when I first opened the package (got it 20 min ago), I stretch it out enough on my own I didn’t want it to come partially done for me! Not going to return because it does the job I need it to, just slightly dissatisfied with the cosmetic aspects. Price: 4, good but could have been better Durability: 4, but we will see as I continue to use it Sturdy: 3; paper is thin but notebook itself is not flimsy.

Love this brand! Rich sturdy pages

This is the only notebook I use for work. The pages aren't flimsy, the spaces are perfect. The bright white pages are made well and my gel pens never bleed through. Highly recommend!

Thick dark lines make the page look far too busy, and isn't premium paper - it looks and feels like a cheap letter pad from your local discount shop

Un classique qui ne déçoit jamais. La reliure spirale est solide et permet de replier le cahier à plat sans problème — pratique en réunion ou en classe. Le papier est d’excellente qualité : ni trop mince, ni trop épais, et il résiste bien aux stylos à encre sans trop de bavure. Le format est standard, les lignes bien espacées, et la couverture rigide offre juste ce qu’il faut de robustesse pour l’utiliser sur le terrain. Bref, c’est simple, efficace et fiable. Du MEAD tout craché.

My favorite doodle / writing pads with coil binding at the top. Perfect!

Me gustó el papel y es de los pocos bloc tamaño carta con espiral que he encontrado y además por buen precio. Sin embargo, venía con una gran mancha en la tapa. Por otro lado le veo de malo que aunque la carátula de atrás es de un cartón grueso, la parte de adelante es excesivamente delgada y se terminará rompiendo, la tendré que forrar para reforzarla.
