What's to say this thing is a tank... It's rugged and just keeps getting better with age... had an A5 that I drag from clinic to clinic and I still get asked what I am using because it just does everything so well and lasts! It's my right hand.

The Mini Field Journal allows me to separate my projects from my observations in more than one notebook... Eager to work this new system, and finding it easy to carry this one just about everywhere I go.

The Mini Field Journal is high quality and presents a look and style appropriate to either the boardroom or the saddlebag... I'm certain Clemens jotted 'There's gold in them thar hills' in something very similar to the modern Mini Field Journal. The Mini Field Journal is that cool.

This is a well constructed heavy duty canvas journal that can fit in your pocket... I recently took it with me to Mexico to hold notes while officiating my daughter's wedding. I was looking stylish and thoughtful at the same time. Thanks Lochby!

It's so durable and well-made, so I dont feel guilty throwing it in a bag and being a little rougher with it. All 3 notebooks I want with me for everyday carry fit perfectly… Truly covers all of my needs and feels great in your hands.
