Tally Books are a necessity for field workers who need to make frequent notes. Usually these books are well suited for the job, but here are some problems that can occur, with solutions.
- The book is too big, or too small. They come in 2 sizes. 8 5/16″ x 3 3/8″ closed, and 6″ x 3 3/8″ closed. Those 2 sizes should accommodate everyone’s needs.
- The book doesn’t lay flat. It wants to close when I am writing in it. Try the spiral
Wire-o Tally Book 3273 bound version. This one will lay flat when open.
- I can’t always find my pen. You can order your books with a pen loop, so your pen is always handy.
- My book gets water-logged when it rains. The vinyl cover prevents most of that. You might try keeping it in a zip lock freezer bag. Or try the new “stone pad”, which is water resistant.
- I lost my tally book. Sorry, we can’t help on that problem. Your data is irreplaceable, so we feel bad for your loss.
- I don’t like the color of the vinyl cover. The vinyl comes in many colors. Next time, you can order a different color.
