A Notebook is a small bound book of blank lined pages. It is a piece of literature that a survivor writes in rather than reads.
The notebook holds ten pages of notes. That is room for a list of supplies, safe houses or plans for a run. It is light and very common in offices and schools.
A spare notebook also works as craft paper for magazine armour, and it burns in a fire.
Office shelves are the likeliest place to find one. Students and teachers often carry one too.
Reading
A Notebook is read the way a newspaper is read. Its real use is writing. A character with something to write with can add a note from the inventory menu, one page at a time.
Ten pages sit between a small Notepad and a larger Journal. The Notepad holds five pages, while the Journal holds twenty. A notebook suits a survivor who wants room for a few lists without carrying a heavy book.
Make Magazine Body Armor accepts a notebook and needs Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor also accepts one, with no skill needed. As fuel, a notebook burns for about seven and a half minutes.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Notebook by its type rather than by name.

Locations
Office, medical office and police office metal shelves are the best bet, holding one well over a third of the time. Break rooms, car dealership offices and recreation rooms come close behind. Art stores hold one more than a quarter of the time. Zombies dressed as students or teachers carry one in about one time in five. Counters and side tables in any building turn one up often. Classroom shelves are also good places to look.
