Sometimes you need a bigger notebook, one thatll lie flat on your desk, ready for to-do lists and phone messages. Sometimes you need The Steno.

The Steno is 6″by 9″with a black Double-O Wiring spiral at the top so it lies flat, open or closed. Inside youll find 80 pages of 70# Bright White paperGregg-Ruledwith a fine, soy-based application of Double Knee Duck Canvas light brown ink. The covers are 60 pt. Super Duty Chipboard, with a screen-printed 1-color application of Dictation Smudge black ink.

The inside covers providea rangeofuseful information,from the history of stenography and an abbreviations guide, to temperature conversions, planetary distances from the sun, a hobo symbol quick reference guide and more. Frankly, we wonder how we ever got by without one open on our desks at all times.
