writing pad
Bound blank sheets
A writing pad is a stack of paper sheets bound together at one edge, designed for writing notes, letters, or other text by hand.
The binding—usually glue or light stitching—allows individual sheets to be torn off cleanly after use.
Writing pads range from small pocket-sized memo pads to larger legal pads, and may feature lined, blank, or grid paper depending on their intended purpose.
