Field Notes created the 1943 Memo Books to mimic the ASEs horizontal orientation. While theyre our usual 5.5″ x 3.5″ Memo Book size, theyre the first with two staples on the short side instead of three on the long side. But while mocking up prototypes, they realized the short-edge binding also works great for a vertical notebook! So its up to you, theres a horizontal cover on one side, and a vertical cover on the other. Whether you want to flip the top of your Field Notes open to take notes as you interview a witness, or spread the pages wide for a panoramic sketch of a crime scene, the 1943 Two-Way Edition is the right tool for your investigation.

Youll find bright red, yellow, and blue books in each 3-Pack. Covers are printed on sturdy Westrock Tango 12pt coated-one-side cover stock. The body of the book is 60# Domtar Cougar Natural (very popular in last winters sold-out Vintage Edition), with an Aged Newsprint 3/16″ graph grid.
