FIELD NOTES
Co-founded by one of my favorite graphic designers, Aaron Draplin, and inspired by the old farmer’s memo book, I carry one of these little 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ notebooks with me everywhere. It’s one of my very favorite gifts to give to friends and family. Available in three packs of lined, graph (my personal favorite), plain, or mixed packs.
