PRE-ORDER MADNESS: Been hard at work on a little something the last bunch of days. And that little something, well, there’s a “Pre-Order Sale” for it going down at Coudal Partners right now: Friends, of Field Notes, we’re talking about the “Field Notes 18-Month Work Station Calendar!”

It’s at the printer right now, and man, I’m on pins and needles worrying myself sick about shit like “corner rounding” and “bindery” and “ink density” and stuff. All for you, folks.

We’ve said it a million times, and we’ll keep saying it: You need one of these.
