OT: Scorebook recommendations

Avid scorekeepers (and you KNOW you're out there): Any recommendations on where to pick up a good scorebook?
The nearby Big 5 has started carrying a different scorebook format that's very softball-minded: room for only 4 pitchers, for example (so it'd be good for about 1/3 of a Cardinals game).
A quick Web scan turned up some options -- I like the approach of the guy at ilovetoscore.com (and won't it be special when my wife finds that URL in the history file), but the book costs $19 including shipping for just 40 games. Hm.
Any other recommendations?

Re: OT: Scorebook recommendations
The Rawlings one might be a decent option, though - have you tried it? The price certainly looks right.

Re: OT: Scorebook recommendations
After doing quite a bit of research, I settled on a scorebook called Big Red. I pick the books up at a local sporting goods store and they cost $6.95 per. You can score 26 games per book. To me, its the best of a lot of bad choices and I've gotten used to it.
If you find something you really like, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

The Mayor of 311 also made a scoresheet that is more detailed than the one I usually use. I can also scan and post it, with his permission of course. His scoresheet is 8 1/2x11 and also landscape when printed.
Both are better than your standard Big 5 scoresheets, IMO.

I'm not 100% happy with it, but I like it better than anything else, especially commercial cards that have only 4-5 pitcher spots.

Not at least in the free program they gave out.

I do hope scoring doesn't die out. It's something I'd love to teach my kids someday.
