I like what you did with the page, but I'd rather wanted to keep the cultural significance and associations of composition books. Your thoughts? Rhymeless 04:26, 7 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

I hadn't intended to do that, just to restate the information more succinctly. I'll look over my changes now and try to restore the lost associations and significance. -- Djinn112 16:42, May 11, 2004 (UTC)


  • why are they usually marble colored (black and white pattern)? where did it come from?

A composition book is one of a type of stock-bound notebook commonly used by writers and students. Although available in several colors, the original marbled black-and-white cover, with its generic label on the front, is the overwhelming favorite. The paper in a composition book is traditionally lined in blue to aid writing, and has a vertical line for a margin on the left hand of every page. Traditionally the back cover of such a book had a table of the weights and measures of the English system printed on it for children to refer to, however this feature has become diminished in countries that have adopted the metric system. Sometimes a multiplication table or grammar or punctuation tips are also found on the inside back cover.

They are bound in a similar fashion to books, consisting of sheets about twice as wide as a single page, folded along the spine, and traditionally sewn together. Composition books are thus more durable than spiral notebooks or those with perforated pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:371D:2500:FCDC:B09E:F8A6:452C (talk) 20:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
