Blue Books are making a comeback in classrooms as an anti-AI gambit. Teachers hand out paper booklets and student hand write their test answers.

I always loved the simplicity of blue books, down to the unbothered repeat of "Book" in the title and subtitle:

BLUE BOOK

EXAMINATION BOOK

First thought, best thought, I guess. Just don't let that principle carry over to your essay writing.

I remember breathlessly writing about solar energy during my science test in 6th grade. We'd studied it for almost the whole year because Mrs. Miller was obsessed. My teacher's obsessions were contagious. Ms. Gross taught us calligraphy and the Holocaust, so forever, I see THE HOLOCAUST newspaper headline style written in calligraphy.

My solar energy essay kept going and going. I'd caught Mrs. Miller's obsession. We all expected it to sweep the nation. I remember the last line I wrote in the Blue Book Examination Book included stage direction:

[sweep of hand] "...will soon be a reality!"

What I didn't love about BLUE BOOK EXAMINATION BOOKS is that they underestimated my needed page count. I went to the front of the classroom for another booklet and wrote "1 of 2" on the upper right corner, but what if they got separated and my essay seemed to end without conclusion? 

To the rescue: This is a 6"x8" spiral Blue Book Self-Examination blank book with 118 pages. Let's go, middle-finger callous!

There are two spiral Blue Book Self-Examination books available. This one is 6"x8", front cover is matte, back cover is a blank, dark-grey, cardstock. There's a document pocket on the inside back cover.

The other spiral available is 5"x7", 150 perforated pages, glossy cover, back cover has a list of other books (including Jabberfucky and other poems), and that smaller spiral has a 2026 calendar on the inside front cover.
