on keeping a notebook

nibotSo, I like to keep a notebook, you know, in addition to a lab notebook. A smaller notebook for doodles and people's addresses and my shoppings lists and recipes and maps and receipts and to-do lists and airplane itineraries and to serve as a generalized permanent scratch paper and whatever else catches my fancy.
You would think that finding a substrate for such scribblings would be easy, but it turns out that I am very picky. The default size of a 'Composition Book' is 9 ¾" × 7 ½". This is too small. I much prefer the 10 ¼ × 7 ⅞" format. And then there are the matters of: college ruled, quadrille, or unmarked? Pencil or pen?
Roaring Spring catalog #77479 looks good - but where to buy?
