Field Notes Tenth Anniversary Edition

To celebrate Field Notes Brand’s tenth anniversary, the team looked back to their original designs from 2002 – 2007 and ten years later have copied them so closely that they’re nearly impossible to tell apart from the originals. 

 

There are three books included in this edition:The Kraft cover version remembers the first printing of Field Notes as we know them today, back in 2005.  The reprint has been adjusted to the canonical 3.5″ x 5.5″ size, with a French “Speckletone Kraft” 100# cover, and 32 pages of simulated old-school graph paper printed on 60# Finch Opaque, with two staples and 1/4″-rounded corners.The red anniversary version celebrates the first memo book printed way back in 2002, before Field Notes Brand existed.  It is matte-foil-stamped in white on red Mohawk Carnival 90# cover stock with a “cordwain” texture, and features 32 blank Finch Opaque 60# body pages. with two staples and 1/4″-radius rounded corners.Finally, the Brown Wrap Paper cover version is a nod to the first test run done in 2007.  The specs are familiar now: 80# French Packing Brown Wrap covers, 60# Finch body with a light gray graph and our logo atop each page. Again, they’re one staple short, and the corners are not-quite-round-enough.
