This isn’t a brand that you would usually put with other high-quality journal brands like Moleskine or Field Notes, but BookFactory fits into this category perfectly. I stumbled onto this brand when I was looking for notebook brands to review, and although BookFactory books aren’t the kind you would buy to carry around with you and scribble random notes, they are certainly great for research notes, diagrams, planning, and the like.

These books are terrific for the kind of uses that you would normally associate with them. They aren’t journals or sketchbooks, but BookFactory books are perfect for any sort of long-form research notes. I’ve recently started doing some serious research into a certain topic, and I think this is the exactly the kind of book that I need. The sample that BookFactort kindly sent me is a very rugged hardcover laboratory notebook, with thick pages, clearly marked lines, and plenty of space for taking notes. Research notes aren’t the only thing you can put in this notebook, however, as the plain books offered by this company can be suited to many purposes.
