These books are pretty standard for lab researchers or for students. I used them for my General and Organic Chemistry lab courses.
The Good:
-They are durable. The spiral binding isn't flimsy, and it won't fall apart.
-The duplicates are not carbon based.
-The sheets are quadrille ruled.
-If you spill chemicals on your notebook (like I did every day), as another reviewer said, the paper absorbs the chemicals really quickly. But the copy isn't really affected.
-Comes with a handy periodic table and reference table on the divider.
-The duplicates are fairly clear and legible
The Not So Good:
-Be careful what you rest on the notebook because if it's pointy it will leave stray marks on your copy.
Miscellaneous Remarks:
-I can't say this enough, but MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE DIVIDER BEHIND YOUR PAGE and the duplicate. If you don't do that, whatever you write will be imprinted onto the following 1 or 2 sheets (3 if you push hard when you write).
-The copy may look really faint at first, but give it some time. After a few minutes whatever you wrote or drew will become darker and easier to see.
These books are expensive, yes, but they are very useful. I still have mine and look back for reference.
Thanks for reading my review! Student Lab Notebook: 100 Spiral Bound duplicate pages
This lab notebook is sold at the bookstore of my college for $24 dollars. It is much cheaper here on amazon, plus, it is a high quality lab notebook. The pages don't feel cheap and the spiral binding makes it very sturdy. This is my favorite lab notebook.
This lab notebook is an excellent buy. The spiral binding makes using it so much easier and more convenient, and the carbon copy sheets are actually simple to remove, with well manufactured perforated strips. Its a bit pricey at first glance, however, it has been well worth the purchase for me (since all student stores in my area only have the glue bound 'flip-book' style that is just terrible).
This is such a useful, and more importantly, durable lab notebook - the binding of my old one has stayed on for 5+ years and the new one is going strong! Also, the copy pages are just as legible as the originals, and the quadrille-ruled pages help you to copy charts and organize data much better than plain notebook paper.
it was a good book. described the way it is except that the seller didnt mention that he or she ripped the periodic table that it has to be puttin behind the carbon paper so it wont be copied to the next page
I have no choice for a lab book for my AP chem class, but this does the job well. My only grievance is the fact that when you are near the end of the book the divider gets a little misshapen and it is hard to ensure that is stays put. Other than that...it is quite nice! The pages are VERY nice to remove!
LOL
this is the best for my o'chem lab!
1. it also has tear-off lines so you can tear the pages off easily w/o torturing the spirals
2. the lines are light blue (way better than the ones in our bookstore, the lines are so dark that you can never read whwat you wrote on it!)
3.the periodic table is useful too
4.pages are numbered which is convenient - Chemistry - Lab Notebook - Science - Medical Reference'
