Great book for all you inventors! Make always makes nice products. No pun intended. But I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up my Moleskine notebooks yet.

Has anyone got one of this Make Notebooks? What do you think?

Welcome to the online home of the Maker’s Notebook.

What is the Maker’s Notebook?
A 170-page project notebook optimized for Makers. The book contains 150 pre-numbered, non-removable pages of 1/8″ engineering graph paper with a place on each page for Idea/Project Title, Date, and a Notes/Signature field. There are also “From Page _____” and “To Page _____” fields, so you can link project pages together, and two blank Table of Contents pages. The Maker’s Notebook was designed to conform to basic standards of inventor, engineer, and laboratory notebooks.

The book also contains 20 pages of reference material, everything from common weights and measures and country calling codes to resistor and capacitor charts and the basics of circuit testing and LED selection. There’s also some whimsical geekery to start conversations with fellow Notebook users down at the coffee shop — things like, well, since you’re at a coffee shop — the caffeine content of various beverages, how to say “Hello, World” in various computer languages, and fun mnemonic devices.
