Oxford Spiralbound Composition Notebooks combine the best aspects of a spiral notebook with the school-focused design of a composition book. They're ideal as science notebooks, language-arts notebooks and personal-use journals. Thick and durable paperboard covers protect your notes, and coil-locked spiral binding allows the books to lay flat when open, while preventing snags on bags and clothing. Quality paper accommodates all pen, pencil and highlighter marks, and the inside back cover features handy conversion charts.
