Is it weird that it took Field Notes so long to make a bigger notebook?

They’ve been making Field Notes for ten years now and — with a few exceptions — they’ve always fit in your pocket. Customers often request larger books with the same features as our regular Field Notes, and they’ve only obliged once, with the “Arts and Sciences” limited edition. When those sold out, the requests kept coming, but they sought the right formula to fit a larger “Note Book” into their permanent collection.

These 4-3/4" × 7-1/2" books allow more room for textual flim-flam, so Field Notees added some possibly-useful information regarding light and darkness to the inside covers of the notebooks, along with their usual Specifications and Practical Applications.
