From Chicago-based Field Notes comes the one that started it all: the original 48-page notebook in each of three styles: graph, ruled, & plain paper.

Each Original Kraft memo book measures 3-1/2" wide by 5-1/2" tall; is bound by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process; and includes one ruled memo book, one dot-graph memo book, and one plain paper memo-book.  Features subtle grey ink on excellent Domtar Lynx 60#T paper.
