I went for a long stretch without finding any good biology class notebooks, but then two in two weeks--this one a very charming and stark contrast to a notebook of very very precise and pristine graphite drawings listed last week. It is of course the drawings that win me, these in ink, with some teacher notes in red pencil too: full pages devoted to frog, fish, grasshopper, crawfish, and American woodpecker head, but then also skin cells and root structures, corn, and teeth, and stems and protozoa! And lots of nicely handwritten notes about them all, including few good lists/charts--"Birds Beneficial to Man", followed by Birds "Injurious" to man, and a chart of Injurious insects detailing their injuriousness too--all of which feels rather like found poetry to me. Lots more pages of notes than pictured, including several pages about per animal rendered.
Paper size 10 1/2" x 8. All drawings pictured but many more handwritten pages. Pages were originally held in a three ring binder, included, but the rings, which don't close completely tight, threatened to tear the paper, so I've carefully removed all the pages and will send them outside of the binder. Toning to a few pages that were at the very front and back of binder, but overall pages in good condition, ink strong throughout.
