I need feedback for my notebook design pls :)

I've been trying to develop a collectable butterfly notebook brand for a while, this is one of my designs (this is the front of the notebook, the other wing is at the back of the notebook and the body of the butterfly is on the spine). I was hoping to sell these for around £24.99 What do u think reddit people?

Feedback would be much appreciated :)

Why Field Notes?

Hi all,

I've recently taken an interest in journaling, and Field Notes look like the perfect size notebook to carry around with me, however they seem very pricey for what they are. Aside from collectable limited editions, brand loyalty, nostalgia, ect, is there any practical reason I should buy the basic, brown Field Notes over the much cheaper, duplicate notebooks available in bulk on amazon? Are they archival quality, or much more durable than other notebooks?

I'll probably end up buying at least one pack to see what all the hype is about, but I'm curious why you all choose them.

Happy Mail!!!

Got my goodies today 😊 not sure how or if I’ll use them yet but I’m happy they’re here.

Found these today

I found this three pack at Barnes and Noble today. Actually, my wife found them and brought them to me from across the entire store because she knows I love pocket notebooks. They are beautifully designed and printed. They also have grid paper and not lined, which I usually use, so it’ll be fun to try something new.

I made a pocket notebook!

I’ve been making pocket notebooks for my different hobbies, and the latest one is for keeping track of what I read. It’s called Book Notes, a little play on “notebook.”

It’s standard pocket size (3.5" × 5.375"), 40 pages, small enough to tuck inside whatever book you’re reading as a bookmark. Each entry has room for title, author, pages, who recommended, dates started/finished, rating, and thoughts.

My favorite part is the cover: it’s set like a typeset proof, with proofreader’s marks correcting “Book Log” to “Book Notes.” My earlier cover attempts were too plain, and this one finally felt right for a book about books.

For those of you who keep reading logs, what do you actually write down? Just the basics, or quotes and thoughts too?

Hurricane Isaias sale!

These and more (non-sub 3packs, carry cases, singles) listed here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11HPsZcJSh3_d0ElV_0MPKBJcKylu4POewkSENBwdJss/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Thankfully we're a bit east of Hurricane Isaias (ee-sai-EE-us) and I'm hoping that everyone in it's direct path are safe and get through with minimal damage.

But work/school closed early and when I brought in the porch bench I realized it works great to hold a bunch o' the FNs I have for sale 😄. Many of these we have multiple packs.

Ordering Update/Clarification

Some notes I should have included originally:

  • I pull these in order of who asks about/expresses interest first. (and yes, I will also mark who is 2nd/3rd in case that initial person doesn't buy.)
  • I'll usually hold for ~48 hours then move on to the next person if i don't hear back.
  • Buyer pays shipping (I use Pirate Ship) -- so to move things along you can send your address and I'll be able to send a shipping cost right back.
  • I'm not really looking to haggle over prices. These are in line with what I have or would pay. LOL all money will go back into more FN sadly.
  • All prices are listed in my spreadsheet.

In/Out Fall Flowers & Yosemite

Fall Flowers is such a good edition, one of my favorites. I’m glad I’ve got two packs squirreled away for future use.
The last 5 pages of Yosemite were sacrificed to keep my daughter busy during a Friday night Costco run this evening. 💯 worth it 😂

Other FN associates?

I know Draplin and the USPS sites sell variations unique to their sites. Are there other businesses or organizations that do, too?

Staple Day- Extra Staple Edition

Edit: Now I know this edition is meant to have 4 staples lol. Shout out to u/Myithrow6s for the clarification :)

Index Edition reading log has an extra staple! That’s gotta win me some sort of prize. 🏆 😂

Anyways, this was a very quick read. I started it last night before bed and finished over coffee this morning.

💯 worth reading, it made me rethink how I do some stuff at work and how I’m approaching personal projects.

I’ve been saving the “Lucky” notebooks for the right time. Turns out the ledger-styled paper comes in plenty handy for planning our wedding.

Has anyone used these?

I came across these but was curious to know if anyone has used them before?

Adding Photos to your Field Notes?

Hey Everyone!

Super new to journaling and field notes and was curious what everyone's preferred method of adding photos to their little pocket journals was? Do you tape or glue them in, OR do you use a little printer and print them on paper with adhesive backs to stick them in? Curious what the pros and cons are for each of these methods.

My new goodies

Just getting started with pocket notebooks and loving it so far. I never realized how much writing things down helps clear your mind more.
