Paper Notebook Sizes

<p>I'm going to sound like a complete nerd for asking this, but is it possible to find slightly larger notebooks than the standard 8.5" x 10" variety that sells for 10¢ at Walmart? I'm thinking either letter size or A4, but I've noticed that it's rather difficult to find anything larger than the standard size. I like my note-taking to be uninterrupted. :)</p>

<p>I bet you can easily find something online that will meet your expectations after a bit of searching.</p>

<p>Have you tried going to an office supply store? They will surely have letter size notebooks.</p>

<p>I’ve found the letter sized kind at Walgreens.</p>

5

<p>Thanks. I guess I just need to quit looking at discount stores.</p>

6

<p>buy legal size at OfficeMax.</p>

<p>Wal-Mart has 10 cent notebooks?? Sweet!</p>

<p>The store at your college probably has 8.5x11. It’ll probably cost a bit more, but it will probably have your school’s name/logo on it (woo school spirit!) and the extra money will be funding the college rather than Walmart.</p>

<p>Ever since I’ve started working at an office that does business internationally, I’ve had a penchant for A4 paper. But I’ll stick with letter, since I really don’t want to try to find folders that fit A4 paper.</p>

<p>But I guess it’s safe to assume you don’t like Hello Kitty?</p>

<p>eBay has a lot of A4 sized folders…but they are in those cutesy prints, unless you want to pay $40+ for a leather folder.</p>

<p>If you search around online, you’d be able to find something. And if you search around a lot, you’d be able to find something cheaply priced.</p>

<p>Being of the male persuasion, no, I do not like Hello Kitty. But I do appreciate the gesture.</p>

<p>I just think it’s cool to have paper that’s different from the usual. And I have to get my revenge on A4 paper after I tried helplessly one day to stuff letter-sized paper into A4 page protectors, completely unaware that there are two sizes of paper.</p>

<p>Perhaps I’ll just have to trek over to Europe to buy notebooks.</p>

<p>Why not use one of those lined notepads that are usually yellow or white, like this: <a href=“http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1270886/2/istockphoto_1270886-blank-yellow-notepad.jpg[/url]”>http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1270886/2/istockphoto_1270886-blank-yellow-notepad.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>They have really large journals at Barnes & Noble you could use, or go to the Arts & Crafts store and they’ll have larger books for sketching (unlined) or long rolls of paper…or just use a laptop :p</p>

<p>I used a top bound spiral notebook in college. By moving the spiral to the top It seemed like I had way more room to write/outline. Loved them. Here is a link to one such notebook.</p>

<p>^That’s a good idea. I always hate when I rest my hand on the spiral on the side.</p>
