Field Notes celebrates the home of their Midwest HQ with the Chicago Edition. Separate from the Quarterly Editions, its just a little something they whipped up to keep themselves busy and warm as their temperature drops below zero. This joins their Hometown Series which also includes the Portland Edition.

The cover is their standard French Paper Co. Kraft-Tone 100#C Standard White Kraft, featuring Chicagos sky blue and red flag (ranked by vexillologists as Americas second-best municipal flag!). Inside, youll find Chicago-centric Practical Applications, and their standard Domtar Lynx 60#T Bright White graph paper.

To paraphrase Nelson Algren, Chicago may not always love you back, but your Chicago Field Notes will always be there for you. Theres no better place to keep track of Italian beef joints, Blackhawks point streaks, neighbourhood bars, Mayoral election calendars, and parking dibs.
