I love these little journals. High quality paper. Great design. Pens write well. Practical size to always have on hand when you need to write something down. And it's nice to spend time writing stuff instead of entering it onto my phone or other device.

I purchased this as a gift for my son-in-law. The notebooks are compact, but perfect as a gift. The pens are a little cheap.

Inexpensive way to try out the different styles of Field Notes. I would rather just buy this mixed pack WITHOUT the pens at a lower price though.

Feels great in the hand and prefect fit for a pocket. Holds up well and writes well. I would highly recommend for yourself or as a gift.

I bought these for the initial cute factor, but I don't know that my guy friends would be as attracted to that. The pen is pretty cheap, but the note pads are surprisingly sturdy and good for carrying in your pocket or purse.

I had been looking for the perfect notebook that I could take to the gym to track my workout routines. Many of the previous books I've found were not the right size, or just not durable enough to withstand being shoved into my gym bag daily.
The Field Notes notebook turned out to be the perfect size, and after a month of use is still in great shape.

Love the books from Field Notes. Nice, old fashioned styling that looks cooler than the plain Moleskin alternative. That said, the pens are a little on the cheap side. Surprised to see retailers hawking these pens.

I work on a college campus where I go from meeting to meeting without having much time to stop. I use my Field Notes to jot down quick notes from students regarding any issues they have, any questions/help my fellow staff members need and any other quick notes that I need to remember for later (I barely have any short term memory.) Field Notes are great for anyone like me who has a bad memory--but lots to remember (or lots of information given to them by lots of people on a daily basis.)

I use Field Notes ever day to write my to do lists, shopping lists, baseball scores...even cocktail recipes. The size is so functional, I just slip it in my back pocket and head out the door.

I was really disappointed with the field notes with "retro" pen (read cheapest pen on the market). For someone who actually takes notes on the fly, or writes travel notes, etc, I would suggest sticking with the classic Moleskine pocket notebook. My field note samples and retro pens have found their way to the telephone for jotting phone numbers, along with all the other scratch pads that I receive through the mail as "gifts" from charities. Certainly not worth the price
