Field Notes version of a reporter's notebook features a heavy duty cover with 120#DTC Neenah stock in a light “Concrete” gray. Inside you'll find Cougar 70# bright white college-ruled paper with light gray lines. Spiral bound with a Double-O-Binding. It’s sized perfectly for your hands, easy to write in with one hand while holding it with the other. The cover protects the wire binding, so it doesn’t get caught on fabric or stuff in your backpack. The diameter of the binding and the die-cut holes that the binding passes through are optimized for maximum “flippability.” And the handy pocket in the back cover makes for a thicker, more stable hand-held writing surface, and also gives you a place to stash a shred of evidence or a receipt for the cocktails you bought to ply a reluctant witness. Official Field Notes product made in the U.S.A.
