What is a "composition notebook"?
A composition notebook is a type of notebook that is typically bound with a flexible cover, often black and white with a marbled design. It contains lined pages, and the pages are usually sewn or glued into the spine for durability. Composition notebooks are commonly used in schools for writing essays, taking notes, or completing assignments. They are popular for their simple design, affordability, and sturdy construction. Unlike spiral-bound notebooks, composition notebooks do not have exposed rings, making them more compact and less prone to damage over time.
