Doesn't Stand up to Foray Personal Size Notebook
I have always bought the Foray Personal Size Notebook (5 1/2 in x 8 1/2 in) for use in one of my executive binders. Had to purchase the Office Depot brand since it seems they no longer carry the Foray product (no thanks to private labeling). The Office Depot brand is significantly inferior. First - the covers are these bright blue, green, red, etc. Fine if I was in school, but seem rather childish for a 40 year old. Second - the paper is so thin that you can literally see your notes from the other side of the page. So if you write on both sides - it looks way to busy. Finally, the Office Depot branded version may or may not have the same number of pages (100) - but it's a much thinner product, likely because the pages are so thin. - Please bring back the Foray product - it is much better quality

Better paper than others
I was buying Foray notebooks, but they changed the weight of the paper. I like this size notebook. I like to write with bold pens and this paper is thick enough that it doesn't look like I already wrote on the reverse side. The price is a little high, but you pay for what you get.

Not as described
This has 100 sheets and is 8.5" by 5.5". It is overpriced. I ordered it because of the desired size of 5.5 x 8 and only 50 sheets. You can find something for a lot less and of equal quality.
