What is a handbook?

It is said that as early as 1812, Charles Letts, a veteran stationery manufacturer in London, created the predecessor of the modern handbook in order to meet the needs of customers who want to record the inventory and accounting of goods. In addition, Japan's Central Printing Factory produced notebooks for staff in 1880, and notebooks for writing and recording gradually flourished in Japan.

Therefore, handbooks mostly refer to notebooks that are easy to carry. With the increasing variety and demand of handbooks, there are handbooks for different goals such as work handbooks and travel handbooks, and there are blank pages, graph paper and other designs on the inner pages, and even electronic handbooks are available.
