Hide and Seek: Field Notes in Vanity Fair

Our favorite little kraft-colored notebooks, Field Notes, have been spotted in the March issue of Vanity Fair!

The magazine includes a piece about one of our heroes, filmmaker John Hughes. You’ve got to give the director of Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club and Home Alone credit. Accompanying the article is a photograph of part of his extensive collection of notebooks…and just inches from the original handwritten script of The Breakfast Club (A Mead spiral notebook labeled “Detention”) sits a familiar-looking kraft-paper-covered memo book. Make like John Hughes and record some brilliance in a Field Notes booklet from PH!
