Field Notes Classic
Field Notes Classic
As I wrote way back when I started this blog, the original Kraft paper Field Notes notebook - the one that started it all - remains a personal favorite, and I’m happy to add them to my shop. The original 48-page memo books are available in three variations, or as a mixed 3-Pack. Each book measures 3-1/2" wide by 5-1/2" tall and is bound by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process.
