A year of COLORS in one minute
Man, that is one good lookin’ memo book.
I’ll forever be blown away by the beauty of these little books. Ya just never know what you’re gonna find out there. So much beauty, and so often forgotten.
I can’t quite remember where I found this one, and there’s something a little bit sad about that. What’s important is that I got my dirty mitts on it, and it’s in safe hands now in the Field Notes master archives, for the ages.
Another magazine we love, Paste, is talking about FIELD NOTES. In the May 2009 “Paste 7″ feature, Production Coordinator Mark DiCristina writes:
If you’re the kind of person who likes to make lists, jot notes and scribble calculations, Field Notes will change your life. If you’re not that kind of person, you should be.
We couldn’t agree more! Thanks Mark, and thanks for the complete PDF of Page 16.

Remember all those times we told you to join the mailing list? Did you? We offered our new COLORS notebooks, “Butcher Extra Blue,” to the mailing list first, and they sold out in a few hours. The good news: you can still score some by subscribing to FIELD NOTES COLORS. Only 100 subscriptions are available, and they’re going fast. Here’s how to get two 3-Packs of “Butcher Extra Blue” and the next three quarterly limited-edition FIELD NOTES without fear of missing out.
UPDATE: Spring 2009 COLORS subscriptions (starting with “Butcher Extra Blue”) are SOLD OUT. Join our mailing list (top of the left column) to get first dibs on our next limited-edition color and subscription offer (Summer 2009).
Nice one, Lee! Thanks! Speaking of remembering it later: If you’re on our mailing list, and couldn’t get on the site yesterday, sorry about that, response was much higher than anticipated. There’s still time, but you’d best hurry, we’re almost sold out.
Man, we love Indiana. The Crossroads of America! And like this old memo book, we are “Geared For Action” for 2009. We’ve got a bunch of cool stuff coming, so be sure to keep yer eyes wide open. Big plans, friends, big plans.
And man, look at that “F” in “Farm.” The kind of stuff we “F”reak out over.

Sure, we love old memo books. We like the old type, the aged paper and the ancient handwriting that might populate a page. Ghosts. So many ghosts.
And we also love the somewhat more contemporary examples from the 70s and 80s. Come one, come all. All have a home with Field Notes.
“Trusted Family Seedsmen.” We like the sound of that. Good work if you can get it.
None of us like to think about catastrophe, but when emergency strikes, will you be prepared? Sure, you have bandages, water, dog food, and duct tape, but in a no-internet situation, how will you blog?

I don’t know what a “meat cross” is, but I do know this, I won’t be messing with the chickens of Hubbard Farms anytime soon. Scary little birds, man. Yikes.
Field Notes, Pre-Soviet Russian version. Though this is a 1918 datebook, it was probably produced before the October 1917 Revolution.
We haven’t seen much demand for 12″ x 3″ notebooks, the Mensheviks must have had interesting pockets.
