Thumb Tabs
And at last I’d like to make a recommendation: Consider making the register fitting to the corresponding protocols. As the first Section overview page has 20 thumb-register fields, but the following protocols only add up to 18 leads to a width-discrepancy in the thumb-register. Putting my thumb on the register for protocol 17, and fanning through the book until I see a white field beneath my thumb makes me stop at protocol 15. You might want to consider adapting the size of the thumb-register fields in the protocols to match the size in the index in order to further “fool-proof” this book and to eliminate the potential for error.
