• Field Journal: Majestic with its 6.75" x 9.75" (17cm x 25cm) frame. Ideal for those who love spreading out their ideas like a buffet.
• Mini Field Journal: Measuring 4.3" x 6.9" (11cm x 17.5cm), this journal is slightly smaller than the Field Journal—hence the name "Mini." Perfect for those who like to carry multiple pocket-sized notebooks.
• Pocket Journal: A compact 4.2" x 6.6" (10.7cm x 16.8cm), perfect for slipping into your pocket (or maybe even up your sleeve? Okay, maybe not).
