Searching for reporter's notebooks

I used those somewhere along the line years and years ago. If I recall correctly, the cover was a bit flimsy, which was a bit annoying, but the actual binding was sturdy enough. As long as I didn't have to worry about the pages ripping at the slightest tug I was fine.

That said, if I ever work regularly again, I'd love to land those Portage notebooks. They were the best.

 

I can just start a business selling the ones in my supply closet. It would be a nice supplement to my income.

 

I agree the Portage ones are the best. Before I left my last shop, a "few" of them somehow found their way into my bag.
But the Office Depot ones work out well, too. I've only seen them in 3-packs, I usually get as many packs as I can at a time since they don't always seem to be in stock around here.

 

Same here. I moved recently and found a box with about 50 in them, with covers ranging from SEC to Georgia to various NHRA teams to Oklahoma football and women's basketball.

 

I never really caught the reporter's notebook bug. Spent too much time flipping pages on deadline. So I go with legal pads. For everything except football, I can get an entire game on one page. If I were juggling writing and shooting photos, though, I'd have to go with something smaller.
