Awsome Notebook...With one minor flaw... |

Turn with me to page 161 in your new or old Maker Notebook.
In the CONTINUITY TEST box on PG. 161.
1. The picture of the meter showing SHORTED is actually OPEN.
2. The meter reading is also incorrect for that situation.
If you look at the circuit the meter is connected to, you'll note the GAP. That is OPEN
I corrected my book by drawing a line thru the word SHORTED and I penned very neatly OPEN above that.
The meter in the picture is displaying OL or Over Limit, Out of Limit which means Out of Range.
This measurement usually happens in the Ohms/Voltage modes when you measure a resistance or voltage that can not be measured within the current range setting on your meter.
When my meter is not connected (OPEN) it shows "1." on the left side of the display.
The meter reading is correct in the CONTINUITY diagram.
SHORTED or CONTINUITY are similar.
The difference between the two:
SHORTED=Magic smoke is usually released CONTINUITY=Circuit path is correct

Almost everything is right... |

... but there are a few things wrong, and they are wrong for reasons that the makers of Make should have known.
First, and foremost, there is just too much branding on the cover and spine. While the instructions gleefully suggest that one should, quote, make the notebook one's own, unquote, by slathering it with stickers and whatnot, that's undoing what should be left to maker's to, well, do.
Improve this notebook by
1. Making most of the spine a nice write-able white space, with only a small space for the Make logo ... right now, it's all Make and Maker's Notebook and very little room to label the notebook.
2. Speaking of labeling, there's no white space provided on the cover for labeling. Why not ... insert question mark, and dash, here because this form is broken and considers them invalid characters.
Something more a matter of preference are the color choices. Bright blue and fire engine red. Really. Why not classic black as an option.

Great Book! The only think I would change for the next edition is the inclusion of a few pages at the end of the reference section so we can add our own reference materials/notes.
