    Shots fired. Field Notes aren't quite all they're cracked up to be. The experience/excitement is what makes the subscription popular. Let's face it, these are either a collectors item or just good enough for throw away lists and notes. They aren't archival quality if you're actually going to use them.

    I liked the subscription only for the fact that im indecisive and this allowed me to get pocket notebooks without staring at the screen trying to choose which one to get.. i liked to get happy mail and sometimes they added little extras that made me happy. But its expensive for not knowing what youre getting and if youll like it.. i got it for a few years and still have some needing to be used so.. pros and cons all over the place.. I do like the Exceed one that you got from walmart.. i like those better than the L1917 ones just because they are readily available..love the Exceed brand in general though ..
