Let's talk about the Mead Memo Book Poly Cover. At first glance, it seems like a handy little notebook - perfect for jotting down quick notes on the go. The 3x5 size is indeed pocket-friendly, and the poly cover gives it a durable feel. But here's where things get tricky.
The biggest issue? The misleading product images. Like many other reviewers, I was shocked to receive just ONE notebook when the pictures clearly show six. For the price point (around $4-6 per notebook), this feels like a straight-up scam. You can literally buy these for under $1 at local office supply stores!
On the positive side, the notebook itself isn't bad. The wirebound design makes page removal easy, and the thicker backing does provide a stable writing surface as promised. The nylon-coated wire is a nice touch that prevents snags in your bag.
But let's be real - these small positives don't justify the price or the deceptive marketing. If you absolutely need this specific notebook and can't find it elsewhere, maybe consider it. But honestly? You're better off buying from another brand or waiting for your local store to restock.
Final verdict: Functional but outrageously overpriced for what you actually get. The false advertising leaves such a bad taste that I can't recommend this product in good conscience.
