Flush Trimmed, Model #1201 Research Laboratory Notebook, 96 Pages, Smyth Sewn, 9.25 X 11.25, 4x4 Grid (Black Cover)

As a kinesthetic learner, I take copious notes. I am in a master's degree program where I live or die by my notes. Unlike spiral-bound ones, these lab notebooks are rugged enough to survive the backpack without damage. And they have enough pages to get me through the term with just one. The quad-rule is eqally good for writing as well as sketching quick tables and diagrams. Well worth the expense.

This is a very, and I repeat, very nice lab notebook. First of all the front cover is pretty hard (I'm guessing made from plywood), together with the back cover, which is very nice and I'd rather prefer the name to be inside the notebook, since if some chemicals are spilled on the notebook, they can smudge the name and thus will become unreadable and will lose the professional look as well. Second, I love the fact that table of contents is already sketched for you and it's not just one, but 16 pages of table of contents, which should be enough in my opinion. Third, and I think this is the best part, is that it has grids on every single page. I hate that stupid national brand research notebook company, where you have only 1 page with grids followed by 4 absolutely blank pages and the pagination there is weird too. What is that? An art student's sketchbook? Anyways, every single page is paginated, has witnessed by section on the bottom, with the date and you can also label the pages with your projects on the top, so that you don't get lost. It's like an actual scientist designed a lab notebook so that minimum amount of time is spent looking for dates/project numbers. Overall the lab notebook is very nice. It is very pleasing to hold this, opens completely flat no problem and looks professional. Very happy with this, so much worth $16 I spent on it. Will buy again once I run out of pages. I added photos of the lab notebook with a quarter dollar for size reference.

When I was doing my doctorate, I learned the importance of keeping a log book. Now I'm working for an engineering firm, and I wanted to keep a detailed log of all my calculations and decisions, as well as my unfinished tasks. 158 pages in, I can say that this has worked great. The gridlines are bold without being obtrusive and the binding remains sturdy despite daily use. I read a review from someone who was grateful that the spine lies flat, and I concur that this has been an asset. I also like having plenty of space in the table of contents (more lines than pages!), where I can identify second-level headers of tasks I completed on each page. I'll be ordering a pair of replacement books soon!

Delivery was fast. Honestly, I was impressed by the quality of the notebook for the price is really reasonable. The paper is thick, the book even has few pages for table of content. All the pages have number so one does not need to manually paginate. Will definitely buy this product again

Pics pretty much tell the tale. Corner got bumped during shipment but minor compared to the bumps it’ll get while I’m using it. Cover is sturdy, like a hard-core composition notebook before they got all wimpified over the last five (or so) years. Spine is slanted slightly as shown in pics. Doesn’t bother me as long as pages don’t jump ship. Overall, I like it! Haven’t written in it yet so will edit if there are any issues.

I love this notebook. The layout makes perfect sense and it has taken me a year of daily journaling and data entry to actually fill its pages. Well put together and quality binding. Nice page material.

The right intersection of quality vs price. Slightly oversize, 200 pages, cover is thickish cardboard, not super rigid, so will get a little dog eared over time - and that's OK, by the times it's full if it doesn't have stuff spilled on it, and edges frayed, then what good is it anyway. At about $19 it's about $4 more than I really want to pay - but the quad ruled with those little 1/4" aqua squares are just so darned handy for sketching, tables etc.

My son needed a lab book for his chemistry class and this worked out perfect for him. It’s compact perfect size I love the color.
