FIT TO PRINT, AND RE-PRINT
People frequently asked us to make a Reporterâs Notebook and one person in particular was adamant about it. So we did. Our Summer 2016 âBylineâ Edition was apparently exactly what people had hoped for. It was an instant classic, and quickly sold out. Then even more people wrote to ask us to make more Reporterâs Notebooks. So we did. Theyâre called âFront Pageâ and are now a permanent part of our line.
For our re-reprinting of âFront Page,â we retained the heavier 130#DTC Neenah âWrought Ironâ stock, but brought back the âFederal Blueâ ink. The innards remain bright-white Cougar 70# text paper with light gray college-ruled lines. The Double-O-Binding is still black rather than âBylineâsâ silver. It looks and feels great, a nice balance between the original âBylineâ and the 2019 âFront Page.â
Named one of New York Times Wirecutter âBest Notebooks of 2023.ââLike other Field Notes notebooks, this reporter pad has a distinctive, charming design that makes you feel like youâre going on an adventure, even when youâre just taking notes at your desk.â
The basic specifications and inside cover contents remain unchanged, itâs 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 doesnât get caught on fabric or stuff in your backpack. Itâs college-ruled for optimal page economy. The diameter of the binding and the die-cut holes that the binding passes through are optimized for maximum âflippability.â 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.
