Field Notes Original Mixed Notebooks (Set 3)
Field Notes Original Mixed Notebooks (3)
To make a long story short. When Aaron Draplin made the very first Field Notes by hand, as a holiday gift for friends, they looked pretty much like these. When we started the company we had only one product, a 3-Pack of Kraft Memo Books with graph paper insides. A set of 3 ruled and 3 plain books shortly followed. This set is a mixed set of one graph, one ruled and one plain Field notebook. Just an honest to goodness, field notebooks.
Our original 48-page memo books, available in three variations, Graph, Ruled, or Plain, as well as this Mixed 3-Pack that includes one of each type. Each Original Kraft memo book measures 3-1/2" wide by 5-1/2" tall and is bound by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process.
