Baron Fig, known for creating tools for thinking and based in Queens, produced this ruled notebook. Baron Fig plants a tree for every notebook it sells and its motto is, “We make tools for thinkers.”

Significant thinking went into this notebook. The Times logo is debossed on the clothbound gray cover, providing a tangible feel and dimension. It opens flat, contains a cloth bookmark, uses acid-free paper with rounded corners and satisfies serious note takers with 192 ruled pages. Research suggests that writing things down by hand helps you retain information better, so our notebook might be old school, but it could put you a step ahead of the cell phone crowd.

Measures 5.4” x 7.7” and comes in a sturdy gift box.
