What's An All-Around Notebook For Students? (I Use Mechanical Pencils, So The Paper Requirements Aren't As Strong)

[Emperor]

What is a really good notebook for student? I main mechanical pencil, and thus I'm mainly looking for build quality rather than paper quality, as mechanical pencils are some of the least demanding writing utensils when it comes to paper.

 

Best,

I loved Miquelrius in school (using mechanical pencils mostly and some rollerballs and gel pens), the notebooks were so much sturdier and useful than the cheapo cardboard ones from your local office supply store (solid plastic covers, wires that took a beating before bending, thicker paper that is quite smooth if not very absorbent), I had one notebook I carried every day for a whole year (6 subject notebook, large but awesome) and it worked great the whole year and is still in great shape years later. That's really the only wire bound notebook I've had that stood the test of daily use, although Mead Flex looks like it could also be a contender (bonus, the Flex is easily refillable with a regular 3 hole punch). You can buy Miquelrius online through Amazon I think or they have their own shop or I've heard of college bookstores carrying it.
