The first time I saw this movie, the red notebook that Leonardo DiCaprio is holding in his meeting with the president caught my eye.

It’s a red hardcover notebook with a really interesting grid line pattern layout.

At first I thought it was a simple moleskin with meeting note layouts bit it didn’t look exactly right. Further, on the back of it were five distinct lines from the brand logo.

Next, I thought it was a Leuchtturm with custom grid lines that the movie prop team had drawn on the paper.

I put it up on the notebook subreddit asking for help and after two months user iainr3 came to the rescue!

I quickly found the notebook on Amazon for $12.95.

The Notebook

The notebook is really interesting but it is a very niche-use-case notebook. The gridlines are dark and force the user to only really use this for things like taking down data points in the field.

I get that this is the reason it was most likely made, but I was hoping I could work it into other uses like keeping it in my gym bag to track my lifting numbers.

There is a 15-page reference guide in the back that includes commonly used Trigonometry tables and relations. This is primarly used in surveying land and also includes a measurement I haven’t heard of called links. Links were invented in England for surveying land and are equivalent to 66ft for 100 links.
