Query: Very cheap and flimsy

These National Brand steno books are made of very cheap paper and backing boards. It's impossible to use them the way steno books are meant to be used --ie, writing on them while holding the pad in your lap. These are only marginally ok if you use them writing flat on a table. Paper is rough and cheap, not smooth at all. (If you're looking for a steno pad with a rigid backing, be sure the description says "easel backing" that allows it to stand upright.) Sorry I bought these, waste of money.
