Thank you for posting the Field Notes Shenandoah notebook review. These notebooks would be used (one at a time) in my leather FN cover/wallet for note taking, general jotting, etc.
Cool review. This just might have pushed me over into renewing my sub again. My wallet hurts…
Great review. Digging your site.
I always like to keep a few Colors editions lying around to give out if I find someone even slightly interested in Field Notes. Count me in, thanks!
I am reading a nice little design book called ‘The Shape of Design’ currently and would like to jot down some juicy quotes from it in these sturdy field notes books. Thanks for the giveaway!
Great review and giveaway.
Love the shenandoahs Great article!
The colors of this edition…and the dual color covers, are a winner for me!
I love the books, however, I want more pencils! Love that hot yellow.
I Absolutely love the cover and how it feels in my hands.
I love the colors
Not a subscriber but like the buttons. Add to my other FN buttons on my work bag.
Nice review, Gary!
Wow those are gorgeous notebooks!
I’d give the buttons and other goodies to my friends
Great review as always Gary, thanks for running the giveaway!
I love the colors, and the sturdy feel! This feels like a book you write in taking a break on a hike, or taking notes in an actual field. I would love to get some FN swag for my FN customers – which includes me!
Love the review. Still waiting on my order from FNHQ so I can’t say how much I’ll like them in person, but I love the cover colours. I don’t have a subscription this time around, so would love to have the buttons from the sub. (And who doesn’t love stickers, stickers, and more stickers.)
I always appreciate these giveaways. Hoping to win one day. However, best wishes to everyone who enters.
I just found your blog while looking for reviews of this Field Notes edition. So glad I did as I’m enjoying your other posts! Those buttons are adorable actually, so I hope I might get lucky!
Gary, I’m surprised that you didn’t include Workshop Companion as a fountain-pen friendly issue. It’s still the best I’ve seen and many prefer its dot grid over the lines in Shelterwood and America the Beautiful.
Good point Larry! You know, I don’t think I’ve touched an FP to a WC page! Guess I’d better check that out. It’s not an edition I’d plan to use (other than for garden planning – I swapped out the other five for Gardening ones, so have a slipcase full six Gardening WCs), but should give it drive.
I carry a small notebook with me all the time to use for quick sketches that I don’t want want to put in my larger sketchbooks. WC has become my go to book for that purpose and I’ve gone through four of them. Most use has been with a Platinum Carbon pen or a Namiki Falcon, both with Platinum Carbon Black ink, though occasionally I’ll use a ballpoint. Both of these pens are very fine (finer than your Lamy and TWSBI pens, though, but the heavier paper makes fountain pens feel at home. I’m wondering if I could swap covers between WC and Shenandoah 🙂

You, sir, have inspired me. Check out my post in Field Nuts. 😉
These look amazing! Thank you for the giveaway
Crear review. I’d love to use a Field Notes notebook to keep my lists of songs that I am constantly writing.
Great job on the review. Did you take that first shot in the Shenandoah Forest 🙂
Ha! At the end of my porch. I did squint and pretend I was in the Shenandoah. Does that count? 🙂
