Recycled Wirebound Notebook Review

Recycled Wirebound Notebook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have purchased dozens of different sorts of journals and notebooks over the years as a writer. This is far and away my favorite (in vertical).
The PCW content makes the paper soft and pliable. The WireLock on the binding keeps the book together (doesn't unravel) and the cover is plain enough to make it inocuous but also something you can give your own flair to. The 9 1/2 x 6 makes it just big enough for collaging as well... you can fit photos in it as needed.
It is just the right size for me in terms of notes (fits in a medium-sized purse) and doesn't have the pesky perforated pages, which tempt you to tear sheets out. If you want to rip something out, you have to really want it! 80 pages is enough to give you substantive space, but not too much to make it bulky.
Sold a stack of these at a garage sale (blank) and regretted it ever since.

Mead Cambridge Subject Wirebound Business Notebook, Legal Rule, Letter, White, 80-Sheets (06074) Review

I don't go anywhere without a small notebook. That used to be the choice of hipsters everywhere: the Moleskine. However, the small Moleskine's were too small for me to write much more than a few words on each line and the larger ones were too big for me to be willing to drag around all day.
These 5x8 Mead notebooks have since become my notebook of choice. I go through about 2-3 a month using a variety of pens and they never disappoint. No bleeding problems (even with my fountain pens) and it also doesn't take minutes for the ink to dry. The heavy, smooth paper is a joy to write on.
Plus, they're cheap.

Mead Black Marble Wide-Ruled Composition Book (09910) Review

The "original" old Mead Composition Book is a classic. But recently Mead changed the Composition Book so that it's now worthless. The paper seems like it isn't 100% pure quality tree paper so it's not as smooth to write on, the cover is a messy "plastic-type" cardboard, the black tape comes off in 3 months. I hate these things now.
I bought 50 of these "new type" Mead Composition Books and the 10 new ones that I still have left, have rotted and the black tape has warped and come off. The 40 that I used up with writing, have also rotted and the black tape has come off. It's a real mess if you store them in old bookshelves. Some are made in India or Brazil and none are no longer made in the USA. The USA ones were the absolute best, with real tree paper, not "plastic-wax type" mesh waste paper, and real tree cardboard covers.
If you need fairly adequate paper to write on, get Japanese Stationery (ex: Apica Notebooks), Rhodia, Rediform DaVinci Notebooks, Leuchtturm Notebooks, Black n' Red Notebooks, or Clairefontaine, they're very good and of high quality. The paper is of a high standard.
Also, Moleskine Cahier Large Ruled Notebook (set of 3) and Writersblok Medium Ruled Notebook (set of 3), are good substitutes, of higher quality, for the Mead Black Composition Book if you're a writer like I am. It costs more but if you're a writer who needs decent paper to write on, it's well worth it.
If you're just using the Mead Black Composition Book for school notes, doodling or odd ends, it's at least useable with a good pen.
The "original" old Mead Composition Book didn't need to be changed. Bring it back.
