I notice the AAAA has one called The Astronomer's Journal. This looks nice. Do people have other favorotes? Getting tired of loose sketches and loosing them.

I found that if I left my sketches in the pad the graphite smeared. I'll have to take a look at the AAAA's copy. Sorry I couldn't offer any suggestions. -------------------- Jay in Utah --------------------------- Location: Lat: 40.514N Long: -112.032W Mortal as I am, I know that I am born for a day.

It is made of cardboard, is A3 in size, easy to store, durable and in every way excellent. I'm not sure if the English version ever got printed though. It was in the talks at one point but maybe it just got buried. /Jake Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
