THE HISTORY OF THE NOTEBOOK

Early history
During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, notebooks were made by hand and children learned how to make them in school. According to a legend, Thomas W. Holley of Holyoke, Massachusetts, invented the legal pad about 1888 but it was not until about 1900 that it was called a legal pad. Only when a local judge requested a margin on the left side of the paper was it then called a legal pad.

Principal types of binding are padding, perfect, spiral, comb, sewn, clasp, disc, and pressure, some of which can be combined. Binding methods can affect whether a notebook can lies flat when open or if the pages will remain bound.

Variations of notebooks that allow pages to be added, removed, and replaced are bound by rings, rods, spirals or discs. In each of these instances the pages are created with perforations that facilitate the specific binding mechanism and how they are secured.

Artists often use sketchbooks, and colleges often use blue books, both types of books are bound, though sketchbooks are loosely bound so as to be able to tear sheets out.

People who journal often use hand-held notebooks for ease of portability, and waitstaff and police officers also use a type of pad that fits easily in a pocket or on a clipboard.

Several current methods of bookbinding are actually revised methods from the past which have been altered to use current materials and technologies.
