Only drawback is that it is not perforated, so if you tear out a sheet, another one on the opposite side will fall out.
I believe these are actually called "lab notebooks". College bookstores have them, also the larger stationary companies. If you google "lab notebook" you should be able to find more of these. I just bought one yesterday at Goodwill (cost me 10 cents) that had a $9 price tag on it. Only draw back is the grid is 5x5 and I prefer 4x4 (each box is equal to 1/4 inch).
