Guitar Chord Diagrams
Does exactly what it says on the tin. One of the best selling books on GMI it consists of one hundred pages with sixteen blank chord boxes of five frets each on a page.
Really helpful to ensure that you don’t have hundreds of scraps of paper lying around the house when you can keep them all in one handy place.
Guitar TAB Notebook
Another utility book which proves very popular for all the reasons given above for the blank chord 
box publication. Again, it simply consists of one hundred pages. Each page includes musical staffs which have TAB underneath each one.
The TAB and staff have bar lines only at the beginning and the end and the staff/TABs are well spaced out across the page for any notes you may wish to add to your ideas.
