What does it actually mean when your Website says "168 pages?"
Our page lengths are stated in terms of the total pages contained in a book. A page is considered to be a printed side of a leaf or a sheet of paper. For example, a 168 page laboratory notebook contains a total of 168 front and back pages, starting with six pages devoted to a table of contents and followed by 162 numbered pages devoted to documentation. A log book not including a table of contents would contain 168 numbered pages, or 84 sheets of paper (leaves) printed front and back.
Note: Duplicator books are printed single-sided, so each page is on a separate sheet of paper.

What is the difference between LogBook Store laboratory notebooks and Boorum and Pease laboratory notebooks?

LogBook Store notebooks are made with both higher quality binding and binding materials and higher quality paper. Further, LogBook Store books feature Smyth-sewn engineering, making them much more usable and durable.
