Field Notes Fall: Trees and Parks

View in Your Browser

National Parks Series D: Grand Teton, Arches, Sequoia

We figured that eventually we’d need to go back on press to make more of our Summer Release, the “National Parks” Series. But we sure didn’t expect to do so just eight weeks after the launch. Thanks to all the subscribers, customers, and stores who tore through our inventory so quickly.

At the same time we were printing more of Series A, B, and C, we’ve added an additional 3-Pack to the mix. Series D includes Grand Teton National Park, Arches National Park, and Sequoia National Park. 3-Packs are available now.

The new art is gorgeous and brings the series to four 3-Packs and twelve parks, each representing “America’s Best Idea.”

To Die For

ICYMI, Our 44th Quarterly Edition is the “Autumn Trilogy” Edition. It features three beautiful covers that approximate the Fall leaf colors of the North American Sugar Maple, the American Elm, and the Scarlet Oak.

The cover of each book features a realistic debossed leaf of a specific tree species, and the Field Notes logotype is embossed. These effects have been achieved by producing a master “sculptural” die, carved into a brass plate in precise detail, and then painstakingly tweaked and revised.

“Autumn Trilogy” 3-Packs are available now, but this is a Limited Edition, and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

Choose to start a year-long subscription with “Autumn Trilogy,” and you’ll receive a Field Notes Pocket Handkerchief with your Fall 3-Packs and then get the Winter, Spring and Summer Editions when they’re announced.

Subscriptions include free USA shipping for all four seasonal releases, as well as various other subscriber-only surprises. Also, subscribers automagically save 10% on just about anything they buy while signed in at our site.

Wilco and Winter

Wilco is barnstorming the country right now, touring in support of their new album, “Ode to Joy.” And they’ve taken our special Wilco x Field Notes Box Set of Memo Books with them. Pick one up at a show or order yours online today.

Our Winter Release is currently in production. With “Mile Marker,” “National Parks,” and “Autumn Trilogy,” it’s been fun year so far, but we’re excited to say, you ain’t see nothing yet.

Love,
The Field Notes Brand Crew

Field Notes: Product Updates

Tuesday, October 29th, 2019
View in Your Browser

As always, folks on The List are getting a heads up when products are released or updated.

XOXO Conference Edition

Portland, Oregon’s XOXO festival started several years ago to celebrate independent art and technology, and since its beginning, we’ve been producing small custom runs of our Memo Books for attendees. Each year, the festival selects a visual artist to develop a “look” for the event, and we work with that artist to create a set of notebooks.

This year’s artist is Maja Dlugolecki. Her brushstrokes and abstract color fields look great reproduced on soft, felt-textured cover stock, reminiscent of watercolor paper.

As always, we produced extra 3-Packs to offer to Field Notes fans who couldn’t make it to XOXO. These special runs always go quickly, so grab a couple now.

Work Station Calendars

Our beefy, chipboard-backed, tear-off 15-Month Workstation Calendar is back for 2020. Measuring 6" × 7½", this little workhorse is an annual favorite.

The front includes tear-off pages from November 2019 all the way through January 2021. On the back, you’ll find a huge, fun, sort-of-comprehensive, list of the year’s “Real Big Days.”

The 15-Month Workstation Calendars retail for $14.95 and so you know, these generally sell out quickly.

Leaves

ICYMI, Our 44th Quarterly Edition is the “Autumn Trilogy” Edition. It features three beautiful covers that approximate the Fall leaf colors of the Sugar Maple, the American Elm, and the Scarlet Oak. “Autumn Trilogy” 3-Packs are shipping now, or start a subscription and receive a custom bandana, featuring a quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne, free with your first shipment. Learn more about year-long subscriptions here.

Parks

We figured that eventually we’d need to go back on press to make more of our Summer Release, the “National Parks” Series. But we sure didn’t expect to do so just eight weeks after the launch. Thanks for that.

We’ve added an additional 3-Pack to the mix. The new Series D includes Grand Teton, Arches, and Sequoia National Parks. They’re gorgeous and bring the series to four 3-Packs and twelve parks.

Thanks for paying attention. People on The List will next hear from us when we drop our Winter Limited Edition. Let’s put it this way, when you see this one you’ll be able to cross off a whole bunch of names on your holiday shopping list.

Love,
The Field Notes Crew

Field Notes Winter: The “Group Eleven” Edition

Monday, November 18th, 2019
View in Your Browser

The Winter Limited Edition gets its name from the position of the elements Copper, Silver, and Gold in the Periodic Table. “Group Eleven” is made up of three standard Dot-Graph Memo Books. But aside from the size, there’s not much standard about them.

Stylish and refined, each book in the 3-Pack represents one of the three precious metals and features a cover stamped in metallic hot-foil with matching staples, ink, and (for only the second time ever) gilded page edges. The covers are a 120#C duplexed stock from Neenah, combining “Solar White” on the outside and “Epic Black” inside. Body pages are 70#T Finch Opaque with a Dot-Graph in matching metallic ink.

Gilt by Association

“Group Eleven” plays the colors of these three “native metals” off of the elegant white covers in a way that feels rich without being ostentatious. They’re tastefully fit for Winter, especially for list making and gift giving.

“Group Eleven” is a Limited Edition, and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever. The 3-Packs are priced at $12.95 each, and they’re shipping right now. Year-long subscribers, yours are already on the way and we’re claiming some real estate on your desk for next year with our new, subscriber-only “Elemental Equilateral 2020 Desk Calendar.”

Get on Board

Now’s the time to start a subscription. We’ll send you two three 3-Packs and the Desk Calendar right away, then the Spring, Summer, and Fall Editions when they’re announced. Subscriptions include free U.S.A. shipping for all four Quarterly Releases, as well as various other subscriber-only surprises.

Also remember, active subscribers automagically save 10% on just about anything they buy while signed in at our site.

Sprung

The time between our Winter release and next year’s Spring release is the longest gap in our quarterly release schedule. And it’s a good thing too. What we’re planning for next year requires quite a bit of work and research. You’ll see.

Meanwhile, consider purchasing a Gift Subscription. It’s easy, and four times during the year the recipient will remember just how awesome you are.

Love,
The Field Notes Brand Crew

Field Notes: The Empty Bottle & a One-Day Deal

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020
View in Your Browser

Free Surprises, Today Only

As always, spend $50 and USA shipping is free. Spend $100 today (1/7/20) and we’ll toss a couple surprises in your shipment. There’s lots of good stuff in the surprises bin, some odd, some rare, some old, some new. You spend your money, you take your chance.

The Gig Economy

We teamed up with Chicago’s Empty Bottle, one of the city’s most-beloved music venues, to bring you this limited-edition 3-Pack of memo books.

Each 3-Pack includes one memo book made from an actual cut-down Empty Bottle gig poster from the last 25 years, foil-stamped with Field Notes and Empty Bottle logos. We used hundreds of different Empty Bottle posters made by dozens of artists. Colors, paper stocks, designs, and print techniques vary. Some feature identifiable text and images, others are more subtle and cryptic. Your pack(s) will be selected randomly; we are unable to honor any special requests.

The other two books are cut from a colorful Field-Notes-designed collage featuring imagery from inside “The Bottle.” A flysheet inside features a short history of the club and a list of visual artists who contributed posters.

Note: This is a small edition of 2400 packs, so we’re limiting all orders to a maximum of TWO PACKS per household.

Inventory Report for The List

The dust has settled after a crazy Fourth Quarter and we’ve taken stock of the situation. We’re almost sold out of a number of products, so we’re giving The List a heads up. If you need any of these, snap ’em up now.

“End Papers” 2-Packs: 692 In Stock
A slim profile. Perfectly simple, sturdy covers. Vintage marbled end papers. High-quality paper stock. Sewn-in-signature binding.

Wilco x Field Notes Box Sets: 677 In Stock
Six sweet Memo Books, each made by pairing an artist with a band member. Coming to you via Chicago.

“Tenth Anniversary” 3-Packs: 350 In Stock
A little weird and plenty lovable, recreations of the very first three versions of Field Notes.

“Resolution” 3-Packs: 213 In Stock
Two Checklist Journals and a Date Book. Cyan, White, & Red Covers stamped with Crown Foil. Tools to help you get it together for 2020.

What’s Not on Your Desk Yet?

The Spring release is already in the works and we can’t wait to see what you make of that. Summer is another oh-so-complicated production that we’re sure will be worth the trouble.

Start a year-long subscription with the “Group Eleven” Edition and get an Elemental Equilateral 2020 Desk Calendar free with your shipment. You’ll be all set for Spring, Summer and Fall editions too. Do it today (1/7/20) and you’ll also get the surprises mentioned above.

TODAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY

Friday, February 14th, 2020
View in Your Browser

Are You Lucky in Love?

We’re doing something a little different for Valentine’s Day 2020. Everyone who orders anything today gets a Valentine’s Day gift with purchase: either an “Editing is Love” Clic Pen or one of the very last 250 “Heartbeat” 2-Packs we have in stock. Who gets what? Like love, it’s totally random!

But here is the most important part. We are donating 20% from every retail order today to Sarah’s Circle, a Chicago-based non-profit serving women who are homeless or in need of a safe space. So pick up something for yourself or your boo, and help us spread the love.

Or, Are You a Monster?

As always, we’re giving The List a heads up on a new product before we make it widely available.

Together with the Chicago Board Game Cafe, we have created the Field Notes 5E Character Journal for playing “the world’s greatest roleplaying game,” Dungeons & Dragons. It has been specifically designed to help you track your character’s statistics, spells, weapons, treasure, history, and more.

The 64 pages feature room for all data normally found on a character sheet and lots more, including plenty of space to document your D&D adventures, level by level. Check out all the details here.

Remember, if you purchase some of these, or anything else today, you’re in for a gift, and you’ll be helping us support Sarah’s Circle. So thanks for that.

Either Way, Are You Ready?

You’ll hear from us next when we’re ready to announce the Spring Quarterly Edition. Let’s just say we can’t wait to see what you do with this one. Pro Tip: Today would be an excellent day to start a year-long subscription.

Love,
The Field Notes Crew

Field Notes: Dreaming of the Open Road

Monday, April 6th, 2020
View in Your Browser

Like everyone, we're rolling with the changes these days. Our online store is open, and we'd truly appreciate it if you'd purchase some Field Notes. To that end, shipping is free on all USA orders over $20 right now.

Additionally, if you're like us, and have been day-dreaming about exploring, going places, taking a road trip, or just getting out of the house, then maybe this will help.

Today and tomorrow (April 6th and 7th) only. Buy anything on our site and we will include a Field Notes "National Highway Map" free of charge.

No coupon codes. No minimums. No bull. Just order anything before Midnight Tuesday (Chicago time) and you're in. This offer is valid on anything in the shop, including the new, customizable "Vignette" Edition and year-long subscriptions too.

Wayfinding

Like filling-station-style road maps of old, The "National Highway Map" unfolds and unfolds until you see a big, beautiful 36" x 24" map of the Eisenhower System of Interstate Highways on one side. The other side contains tons of trivia, history, reference material, and other interesting, useful stuff. There's also some fun, but not-so-useful, surprises too. No glove compartment (or bookshelf) should be without one. Get yours free today with any purchase.

So you know, for safety's sake, fulfillment is going a little more slowly than usual.

Nice to Meet You

Thanks to everyone who has participated in our Hello Field Notes Giveaway the last couple weeks. It's been awesome to meet you. We cleaned out a good portion of the Archive Closet by randomly sending out rare editions as prizes.

As always, thanks for paying attention. We can't wait to re-open the doors at HQ to travelers and friends. We miss you.

The "United States of Letterpress" Fall Limited Edition

Thursday, September 17th, 2020
View in Your Browser

American Ink

Our 48th Quarterly Limited Edition for the Fall of 2020 is the "United States of Letterpress," which features the work of nine independent letterpress shops from across America. This series demonstrates a wide array of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and love for the age-old and tactile process of letterpress printing.

With the help of our friends at Finch Paper and The French Paper Company, we shipped each shop a different color cover stock and specified the same two ink colors for all of them. The results are as varied and thoughtful as the participants involved.

Continuing a tradition embossed into the history of American letterpress printing, the layouts, themes and messages are highly personal statements about heritage, geography, tradition, and social issues, and they also demonstrate the diversity and strength of today's letterpress community.

The three 3-Packs are priced at $12.95 each, and they're shipping right now. Year-long subscribers, you are receiving ALL THREE combinations, rather than the usual two packs, and yours are already on the way.

The Case for Subscriptions

Now's the time to start a subscription. We'll ship you all three "United States of Letterpress" 3-Packs right away, and then the Winter, Spring, and Summer Editions as they're released.

Subscriptions save you cash, and include free USA shipping for all four releases, plus various other subscriber-only surprises. Active subscribers also automagically save 10% when shopping on our site. Click here for more about subscriptions.

What's Next

We've commissioned some high-level scientific research to guide our production of the Winter concept. Spring will be our 50th Quarterly Release! That seems like an anniversary that deserves to be celebrated with something special for subscribers. We're still arguing about Summer, so stand by on that.

I.C.Y.M.I.

We recently dropped Series E, the fifth 3-Pack in our "National Parks" Edition which features Denali, Cuyahoga, and Olympic. Plus, a sweet, old-school water transfer decal for your ride is now available.

We hope you enjoy the Fall release and the documentary we produced to go along with it, as much as we enjoyed working with members of the American letterpress community. They're good folks.

Love,
The Field Notes Brand Crew

Field Notes Spring: The "Vignette" Edition

Tuesday, March 10th, 2020
View in Your Browser

Our new Quarterly release is the "Vignette" Edition. The Graph Paper Memo Books in these 3-Packs feature a clever die-cut pocket that allows you to include your own image - any image - as an integrated part of the cover design. We've noticed how people customize their Field Notes covers with a sticker, title, sketch, or stamp, so the "Vignette" Edition makes that sort of personalization quick and easy, resulting in a very slick finished product.

Make of These What You Will

Two stippled "Charcoal Gray" books and one super-bright "Terra Green" book make up each 3-Pack. We've also included a set of three Field Notes-themed insert cards for you to play with, to see how the personalization system works. But after you try those out, get to work on making your own.

To that end, there's a tool in each pack to frame and crop existing images to the proper size. We've also made a simple web app to shoot, adapt, share, and print your own personal digital photos, as "vignettes." Click here to check that out.

Designing and manufacturing these books was a fun challenge, but the most exciting part was knowing that we would never finish them. We left that up to you.

The "Vignette" 3-Packs are priced at $12.95 each, and they're shipping right now. Year-long subscribers, yours are already on the way.

Come Along for the Ride

Now's the time to start a subscription. We'll send you two personalizable "Vignette" 3-Packs, and a complete set of twelve Field Notes Insert Cards, right away. Then the Summer, Fall, and Winter Editions as they're released. Subscriptions save you cash, and include free USA shipping for all four releases, plus various other subscriber-only surprises. Remember, active subscribers automagically save 10% when shopping on our site. Click here for more about subscriptions.

Future, Tense

Note: Summer will be an answer to a frequently-made request. Fall has been in the works for a while already, and it will be the most ambitious and complicated product launch we have ever attempted, or it will be our most spectacular failure. Either way, you'll want to be subscribed to be a part of it.

Personality Quiz

Answer yes by clicking: Dungeons & Dragons roleplayer? Wilco fan? National Parks lover? Want to help us help kids become better readers and writers?

We can't wait to see what you do with the "Vignette" Edition. Oh jeez, totally forgot to mention, we also made a tee shirt for this release.

News, Notes, and Weirdness from Field Notes

Tuesday, May 12th, 2020
View in Your Browser

Like everyone, we're rolling with the changes these days. Our online store is open, and we'd truly appreciate it if you'd purchase some Field Notes. To that end, shipping is free on all USA orders over $40 right now. For safety's sake, fulfillment may take a little longer than usual, but we're plugging away to keep the delays to a minimum.

Resurrected

A few days ago, a pallet of boxes arrived at HQ, unannounced, from Portland. Unbeknownst to us, Field Notes co-founder Aaron Draplin had been quietly working for quite some time on a sequel to his 2016 "Dead Prints" Edition. Now they're finished. Appropriately, the name of this Irregular Issue is "Deader Prints."

Aaron has collected a few years' worth of his prints, test sheets, proofs, and other oddball DDC stuff and had them cut down into Memo Book covers for this series. Each 3-Pack includes three of the many, many variations, all good and weird. There is a very limited number of these available right now.

Inventory Alerts

A couple of our very favorite collaborations are nearly sold out. The first is our Wilco x Field Notes Box Set. We matched six fantastic graphic artists with the six members of the band and let them improvise.

This set, like the music of Wilco and Field Notes, comes to you via Chicago. If you've had your eye on these, now's the time to grab one.

For years we've been producing small custom runs of our Memo Books for attendees of Portland's amazing XOXO Festival, and then selling a limited run online.

Last Fall's version features the work of artist Maja Dlugolecki, whose brushstrokes and abstract color fields look great reproduced on soft, felt-textured cover stock. So you know, these watercolor beauties will be gone forever soon.

Onwards!

We always say this, but now would be a great time to start a year-long subscription. Summer is on press right now and regarding that, we'll just share a comment from a Crew member in the HQ Slack yesterday.

"By the way gang, I've been using a prototype of Nice Try, Nosy for a few weeks now and I don't know why we didn't make these six years ago when we originally talked about it because they are perfect."

Fall is also in production currently. It's an ambitious but relatively simple concept, however the logistics are not simple at all, especially these days. Start a subscription with Spring's customizable "Vignette" Edition today, or if you already have those (and a lot of you do), you can start your subscription with Summer. Either way, you (and we) will be glad you did.

Grateful

Thanks for all the supportive emails and notes you've added to orders. We love hearing from you and can't wait to re-open the doors at HQ to say thanks in person. We miss you.

Peace,
The Field Notes Crew

Field Notes Summer: The "Heavy Duty" Edition

Monday, June 22nd, 2020
View in Your Browser

It has been a while since we have implemented a new format for a Quarterly Release, and it has been a really long while since we first considered this one. We hope you'll agree, it has been worth the wait.

Tough Love

Say hello to the "Heavy Duty" Edition. Each pack contains a pair of memo-sized Work Books. The covers are made of extra-beefy "Super Duty Chipboard" and have been screen-printed with thick, opaque ink, one in DDC Orange and one in Blue Sky Blue. These "flip" books are bound from the top with sturdy Double-O Wiring, to make it easy to take notes with one hand while holding the book with the other.

Each book contains 80 pages, Ruled on the front with a Double Graph Grid on the back, so you'll have space for making lists and for sketching out plans too. Each 2-Pack also includes a "Stay-Shut" Band of Rubber, sized to keep things extra-solid when your "Heavy Duty" book is packed away.

The "Heavy Duty" 2-Packs are priced at $12.95 each, and they're shipping right now. Year-long subscribers, yours are already on the way.

The Case for Subscriptions

Now's the time to start a subscription. We'll ship you two "Heavy Duty" 2-Packs right away, plus a subscriber-exclusive "Natural Finish 3-Inch Field Notes Hex Pencil" that fits snugly in the wire rings. Then the Fall, Winter, and Spring Editions as they're released.

Subscriptions save you cash, and include free USA shipping for all four releases, plus various other subscriber-only surprises. Active subscribers also automagically save 10% when shopping on our site. Click here for more about subscriptions.

Seeing the Future

Note: Fall is deep into production, and it will be the most ambitious and complicated product launch we have ever attempted, or it will be our most spectacular failure. Either way, it will be fun to ride along. Information about Winter is available strictly on a need-to-know basis, and Spring will be our 50th Quarterly Release! That seems like an anniversary that deserves to be celebrated with something really special for subscribers.

Whatever kind of abuse you need to put these "Heavy Duty" Works Books through to get a job done, just go for it. They can take it.

Expanding its reach across North America, we're excited to add Series E to the "National Parks" Edition, with Denali in Alaska, Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley, and Olympic in Washington State. They're available right now. This brings the whole line to five 3-Packs and fifteen amazing parks.

This is an ongoing collaboration with the artists of The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series, and the illustrations for these books are a beautiful tribute to "America's Best Idea." In that spirit, we're donating five percent of retail and wholesale purchases to the National Parks Service.

Upgrade Your Ride, Free

Buy two or more of the "National Parks" Series 3-Packs before Monday (8/31) and we'll include our new "Parks Exploration Vehicle" Water-Transfer Decal, free of charge. Plus, U.S.A. shipping is free on all orders over $40 right now.

No coupon code needed, just include two or more "National Parks" 3-Packs in your order before Monday and we'll include the decal!

Water-transfer decals are an icon of American tourism. Throughout the 20th century, these colorful decals adorned luggage, station-wagon windows, and trailer bumpers, featuring America's favorite destinations and attractions. Eventually, cheaper vinyl bumper stickers largely took over the market, but you can still find the occasional water-transfer decal at truck stops and gift shops nationwide.

Our "Parks Exploration Vehicle" Water-Transfer Decals are available now, but if you act fast you can get one free today.

What's Hot, Aside from the Weather

If you're going to be roughing it, you'll want to take along our latest Quarterly Release, the "Heavy Duty" Edition. These beefy, flip-style Work Books are ready for anything. They're available in 2-Packs and via subscription.

Maybe the trip you're planning is one that will take place in your imagination. Our 5E Character Journals for Dungeons and Dragons contain custom fields for game information, character data, level-by-level notes, and tons more.

We'll have news about the Fall release fairly soon. Stay tuned, we can't wait to show it to you. We're not sure when we'll be able to reopen HQ for visits, but as with pretty much everything, folks on The List will be the first to know.

Love,
The Field Notes Crew

I'm not writing it down to remember it later.
