You can really nerd out with the production and aesthetic qualities of all Field Notes Notebooks and the 'Signature' Pack release is no different. This one is the 'Plain' Paper, 2 book pack.
The “Dime Novel” Edition from the 2017 was a big hit, setting sales records and many Field Notes fans requested that they make them part of the regular line. People loved the form factor, the Sewn-in-Signature binding, and especially the very high-quality paper of the interior pages. The Strathmore Premium Wove 70#T in “Dime Novel” is the finest body paper that Field Notes say themselves.
Exactly the same form and specifications as “Dime Novel.” There are two versions: a 2-Pack of Sketch Books with blank pages and a French Paper grey/blue cover, and a 2-Pack of ruled Note Books with a cream/yellow colored cover. The covers are gently debossed with just a tint of ink. Field Notes have used a brighter, whiter version of the same Strathmore Premium Wove stock for the 72 interior pages of both versions
