So, you've got a great idea. By now, you have probably realized that there are many steps to take along this journey to bring your idea to market, but the most important step is getting a great product design logbook, commonly known as an "inventor's notebook." This Product Design Logbook was developed specifically for inventors who want to be more discrete in carrying around their inventor's notebook... thus we titled it, Product Design Logbook. After all, that's what inventing is all about - designing a new product, redesigning an existing product to make it better, or designing a better way to manufacture a product. This hardback edition allows inventors to remove the jacket if they wish and enjoy an attractive cloth edition without having those conspicuous words on the cover "INVENTOR'S NOTEBOOK." Because your logbook will become your constant companion, this edition provides ample space to record your ideas as well as a table of contents to record the progression of your logbook so you can easily locate projects, ideas, research, drawings, revisions, and notes. In the back of the book, you will find a section called Contacts & Addresses to record contact information for important individuals... perhaps contacts relevant to the inventions in this logbook. If this logbook will become an addition to an existing set of notebooks, you can identify the volume number on the title page along with your personal information. As a cloth edition, you can also use a silver marker to identify the volume number on the spine of the book further helping you keep organized. Lastly, you will find a section at the end of the book called Recommended Reading. Although there are many books on the market that provide invaluable information, we listed a few that we thought were noteworthy and covered a broad range of subjects. We hope the Product Design Logbook will help you organize your ideas to achieve great success with your inventions

As a new mom, I found myself keeping track of my child's daily formula, breastfeeding, diapering and other notes on whatever note pads were available. After a few weeks, I decided that the notes came in handy when my child would visit the pediatrician and they also helped us see shifts in his sleeping and eating habits. The purpose of this journal is for parents and caretakers to keep up with the items they would like to follow. It is not necessary to keep up with all of the columns, but they are provided for your convenience if you decide to use them.
