The very popular brand of memo and notebooks, "Field Notes", created by graphic designer Aaron Draplin in 2007, is heavily influenced and inspired by promotional American farmers memo books, distributed by seed, tractor, and agricultural companies.
Draplin has over the years collected fifteen drawers of these types of books, and some of them can now be seen in "The Memo Book Archive", where they have been nicely scanned and sorted. What a treat!!!
