When they’re not chipping away at their summer reading list or picking the perfect first-day-of-school outfit, students need to stock up on school supplies. School supplies lists cover the basics, but they leave off plenty of items that students can use to review lessons and do homework outside of the classroom. 

For jotting down notes, sketching elaborate monster rampages over cities, or just capturing your thoughts, people love a marbled composition notebook. These journals have been a staple of schools and nightstands for decades. No one holds any copyright to the design, and so a variety of manufacturers have circulated their own version of the familiar black-and-white bound notebooks.
