Field Notes - "1943"

Step into a fascinating chapter of American publishing history with the Field Notes 1943 “Two-Way” Edition. This unique 3-pack draws inspiration from the Armed Services Editions (ASE), a remarkable publishing effort during World War II that brought millions of books to American troops overseas.

Produced in an unusual horizontal format with bold, primary-colored covers, the original ASE books were designed to be compact and practical for service members. Field Notes recreates that distinctive format while adding a clever modern twist: the 1943 edition can be used in either direction.

The familiar 5.5" × 3.5" Memo Book format features two staples along the short edge, allowing the notebook to open horizontally or vertically. One side presents a horizontal orientation, while flipping the notebook around gives you a vertical format.

Whether you're taking notes, sketching, journaling, or simply looking for a notebook with a little more versatility, the 1943 “Two-Way” Edition offers a clever design rooted in an intriguing piece of American history.
