   The “original” old Mead Composition Book?, February 15, 2010

   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.

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   This is a good general product for schoolwork, etc. I have used them for years as a personal journal. Recently Mead changed the cover and uses a thinner cardboard so they are not as sturdy as they once were. Otherwise they’d recieve an excellent.

   The notebook:

   The notebook is 100 sheets and it is wide ruled. I find thease handy for everything from a personal notebook to use for school or work. The covers are realatively sturdy, unlike spiral notebooks. The drawback is that you can’t rip out pages, because The notebook is bound together by a sturdy thread.

   All in all this notebook comes in handy for any purpose or any person.
