5.0 out of 5 stars Not for Doodling: A Professional-Quality Tool for Professional People, October 22, 2009

This review is from: Ampad Engineers Research and Computation Book, Wirebound, Size 11-3/4 x 9-1/4, 24 Pound Paper, 76 Sheets, Buff Paper, 4x4 Ruling, Red Cover (22-157) (Office Product)

I was first introduced to the Ampad #22-157 Computation Book when on a high-tech product development team about a decade ago. Back then, the company paid for 'em but now I have to. After the frustration of using cheaper substitutes, I simply won't use anything else. Bottom Line: This is a professional-quality tool with no compromises. Anything less is just for doodling.

PROs
-Rigid and durable: stays flat when writing on any surface, covers and pages won't rumple like cheaper notebooks
-Spiral binding is very strong, will not crush or distort, opens completely to lay flat
-Graph paper rule
-Numbered pages allow for easy indexing
-A pleasure to write on: highest-quality paper accepts ink consistently without bleed-through (great with "Pilot G-2 07" pen)
-Buff-colored paper reduces eye strain

CONs
-10x the price of the junky kids' notebooks but you get what you pay for here
-Big and bulky but makes up for it with a large, comfortable writing surface

I have used these as daily record books since we were assigned to buy them for college courses in 1961. They are spiral-bound, lie flat, are page-numbered and graph-ruled. You can tape an 8 1/2 x 11 page in them and not have it hang over the edges, if you want.

They're getting expensive...

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but industructable, March 2, 2008

I have had one of these notebooks for 4 years and in that time it has had water spilled on it umpteen times, crushed, bent, thrown, etc and I think I have lost only 1 page. Only worth the money if you A. really treasure what you are going to write in your notebook, or B. the notebook is going to take major abuse.
