Rhodia Classic Side Staplebound A5 Notebook - Black, Dot Grid

A5 dot book

Probably won't end up using these books for a month but they look good and I'm excited to put them into my rotation.

My go-to notebook

I've tried several of the more fancy ones, and those are great, but dollar for dollar, these fit what I need most at work. As an engineer, I find the dot grid very useful for guides in drawing and whatnot, the waterproof cover is handy to keep coffee drips from causing trouble, the size is perfect, fairly low cost, and no one else at work uses them (so I know which one is mine!). The FP ink-friendly paper is, of course, fundamental to even get in the door, so no worries there. I tend to have a few of these at home for backup. :)

Excellent Notebook

Just the right size for many different things, takes ink like a champ, not too expensive - I have a few of these. You probably will too after you try it.
