Title: Field Notes Went From Side Project To Cult Notebook

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/06/17/2128...

Field Notes, the analog notebook company that began as designer Aaron
Draplin's side project 20 years ago, has sold over 10 million notebooks and
operates in 2,000 stores worldwide, co-founder Jim Coudal told Fast Company.
The Chicago-based company, which Coudal says just completed its best year for
sales and revenue with 2025 tracking to exceed those numbers, has grown from
selling 13 notebooks on its launch day to producing quarterly edition runs of
30,000 to 60,000 packs. The brand's subscription model, launched in 2009 with
1,500-pack print runs, now encompasses 67 limited editions and provides both
predictable cash flow and regular customer engagement opportunities for the
company.
