Editorial: Three small kraft-brown memo books fanned out on a desk, with a pen clipped to one, showing the ruled paper and staple-bound spine.

Field Notes makes small memo books, 3.5 by 5.5 inches, with kraft paper covers and 48 pages of ruled or graph paper inside. The format is perfect for carrying in a back pocket. I started using them because a professor said you notice more when you write things down by hand. She was right. Paper takes fountain pen ink without bleeding, and the staple-bound books lay flat when you open them. Every quarter, Field Notes releases limited-edition covers. The community around collecting past editions is surprisingly active for a $10 product.
