Portage Notebooks Small Notebook - Spiral Notepad for note-taking 4x8 - Small Notepad with stiff backing for Reporters - 12 Pack of Small Note Pads for Journalists and Writers, 70 sheets

These are my favorite type of notebooks I know a lot of people use steno pads however, these are long, narrow and have very nice hard covers front & back and so actually it makes it easier to write with and I can just fish it out of my handbag or my briefcase in no time to take notes it's perfect. They have been useful. I've used them for a while and these are priced right they work great. I wanted to use a couple of the pads before I did the review since I switched the brand; these are tough little workers!

The notebook is a perfect size to keep on my desk and fits in my purse.

I have bought these more than once. They work great to carry in a purse, tablet case, camera bag and more. Because they are longer there is plenty of room for notes. I also found these make great grocery store lists. Purchasing this package was actually cheaper per pad than buying grocery store lists to set on my counter. Grocery lists have lower paper counts and are a bit smaller. But the price has not shrunk. I was surprised when I discovered these were a much better buy!

Highly recommend for servers. I love it because it allows me to see all my tables on one page (usually) and I organize it the way I want. My server book has a place to slip the cardboard in to keep it in place. The notepad is too big but I just rip off some of the side, problem solved, it takes 10 seconds. This is the only server pad I've used for years.

What can I say, I’m a reporter and these ar e great reporter notebooks. Easy to use, great for note taking and store neatly in a bag or brief case. Good value.

Good basic reporting tool. Used thrm a lot before Zoom and recordings. Still use for jotting notes.

Love these pads. Been using them for 30+ years! Sturdy, still base to write on and it fits in pockets. Good paper too.

Great job

Nice size, rigid enough to write while standing!

Easy to hold when writing notes hand held. Good firm back

La tapa de piel para estos cuadernos la recibí con rayones, manchas de color amarillo y mal cosida. No he logrado que desde Amazon me cambien el producto, tras escribir varios correos y enviar varias fotos. Un desastre total.

These are exactly what I need for reporting. Since we now work from home and expense our supplies, I was rather surprised how expensive the brand we had previously got at the office had cost, since previously I never had to order supplies. I found this brand and not only is it just as good but it is much better value at the price for sure. As a reporter I like the narrow format - when busy it can be slid into your back pocket. The slightly wider ones don't fit.

Finally. This is exactly the narrow notebook you remember. This was out of stock forever, the price is back to normal. Just got mine.
