Description
The biggest difference between Black Ice and the usual Field Notes is a bit less obvious if you don’t look closely. This is their first pocket memo book without staples! The books are PUR-bound, using an advanced polyurethane adhesive that’s both stronger and more flexible than regular perfect binding.
