Log books

How hard can it be to find a decent log book? I have
looked high and low for the perfect log book for me.
I need it to be three things:
1) Harbacked and case-bound
2) Squared paper
3) Acid free paper
It would appear to be a case of pick any two but not all three. I can't imagine that this is a particularly outlandish thing to want, surely there are lots of people out there who would want something like this. I have managed to find two that almost qualify one is a black and red and can only be purchased as a 5 pack and one is made by MAKE (or at least branded as such) and cost $20 + p&p from America. Ouchies.
One a much happier note I have been taking the time to explore the two brilliant new sites: Academic Earth and YouTubeEDU.
Now I fully recognise that these are not a replacement for actually going to university - in fact they are a long way off. They are however, very very good; And they are a lot better than nothing. You may not get the benefit of teaching assistants, lecturers or the other people in your class. You may not get your work marked. What you do get is some lecture courses from some of the worlds best universities. I'm also going to bet best lecturers as it would be very easy to put people off going to your university if you show them the goods up front, I can think of certain lecture courses that would have put me right off Bristol. If you have been to uni and want a refresher, are at uni and want a different take or couldn't go to uni and want a "next best thing" I'd urge you to check it out.
I am currently taking CS106A at Stanford :-)
