Earlier this year, @adamkornfield sent me this email: 4 months later, @adamkornfield and @joeycofone stopped by our office to show us the notebook and snap a few pics. I've been using mine for a while now. The quality's fantastic. Fun fact #1: It just happened to be sweatpants Thursday at Product Hunt HQ… hashtag super professional. Fun fact #2: with exception to our Teespring shirts, this is the first Product Hunt branded physical thing. Radical.

@rrhoover This is exciting. Loving PH products IRL. Hoping for a Kitty Backpack or Beach towel in the same style as Snapchat.

@adamkornfield @joeycofone I love your logo :) beacouse it reminds me logo of my first startup MyBaze :D
Adam Kornfield
@kam_gol @nivo0o0 Thanks Kamil! Actually Ryan and team at PH designed it, so give them your good words!
Chase Perkins
So proud of the Baron Fig team. If you want to know what consistently superb product design and material quality look like, look no further. Adam & Joey are on a mission no Moleskine could ever understand.
Adam Kornfield
@chasethetruth Thanks Chase! We're always trying to make the books and products better. Appreciate the good words!
Cali Harris
Love this! Also backed the Squire on Kickstarter earlier this week. :)
Joey Cofone
@caligater Awesome, thanks for the support!
Steve McGarry
This is awesome.
Adam Kornfield
@stvmcg Thanks Steve!
Bryce Daniel
Baron Fig notebooks are by far my favorite way to jot down my ideas and explore different concepts!
Adam Kornfield
@bryceoflife Thanks Bryce! Really glad you're liking the books. Been a ton of fun making them and getting feedback from everyone!

@james_mazza22 @joeycofone hey guys these notebooks look great! One pain point of mine I don't see addressed on your website is the thickness / opacity of the pages. When the pages are too thin it lets the writing show through from the opposite side, making your current page harder to read. I've found the pages of Leuchtturm notebooks to be too thin...moleskine is a bit better but leaves something to be desired. Can you comment on your page weight in comparison?
James Mazza
@msaint Great question! The pages are 100gsm acid free paper. Just the right thickness that most pens and some ink/nib combos won't bleed or show through!
Joey Cofone
@msaint To build on James' response, Moleskine is 80gsm—our Confidant's 100gsm is noticeably better. ;)

I love Baron Fig's notebooks! They are super sturdy, great paper, just tough and wonderful. So happy to see this collaboration :-D
Adam Kornfield
@narekk Thanks appreciate it! Really excited being able to bring us all together to make it.
Sumeet Shah

@pe_feeds Thanks, Sumeet!

Make sure to buy with bitcoin :) Team at Baron Fig has been some of the earliest supporters of merchant adoption for bitcoin, even going so far as to push Squarespace and Shopify to accept bitcoin. Amazing team and speed of product advancements at Baron. I've also used the notebooks since the designer at Robinhood introduced me to them. Haven't bought another notebook since!
Adam Kornfield
@realsimonburns Thanks Simon! We are big proponents of bitcoin here at Baron Fig. Want to do our little bit to make the ecosystem grow. Appreciate the good words and glad you're liking the notebooks!!
Jaime Macias
Ordered. Will have more to say once it arrives.
Adam Kornfield
@jmacias Thanks! The book will have more to say once it arrives as well :)
tom meagher
Green is my favorite color! Just ordered, convenient that my old confidant was running out of pages.
Bryan Cromlish
Just got mine (hoping I am one of the first 50 and get some of those sweet stickers)!
Philipp Meder
@adamkornfield The page says "free US shipping", how about shipping to Germany? When I check out with PayPal I only have to pay the 18$?
Joey Cofone
@phimema I'd love to ship to Germany for free! Right now international shipping (non-US) is a bit extra, but not by much. We're constantly working to improve shipping prices. Hope that helps.
Joey Cofone
@phimema Right on. Hope you enjoy!

Got my Maker book too today!😍😍😍 Just in time for Thanksgiving😂 but I'm still wish I can get more of PH stickers since I ordered set of 3!!! Hope next time I can get more PH stickers 😅
Robin Bascom
Love the Maker badge concept — perfect symbol for the collaboration and a wonderful celebration of what both PH and BF are to the product community!
Joey Cofone
@robinbascom Robin, thanks for the love!
Ariel Kao
Always been a big fan of Baron Fig and how they keep in touch with innovation and current trends, even in an area as niche as notebooks!
Adam Kornfield
We're really excited to get this book out there! Was a blast designing the book along with @ryanhoover Photo shoot was incredible, Ryan came dressed in sweats ready to rock it. My desk is full of PH stickers, the PodCat is the best!
James Mazza
@adamkornfield I am a huge fan of the PodCat!
Kate
@adamkornfield paging @alexcartaz for some PodCat love 😻
Joey Cofone
Super psyched to finally put this into the world. This is an East Coast + West Coast *and* Analog + Digital collaboration. Glad we got to make it happen, hope everyone digs it. Fun fact #3: This is Baron Fig's first startup-to-startup collaboration. Fun fact #4: My co-founder Adam, formerly finance, taught himself how to do photography from scratch and took all the photos. :D Edit: PS. First 50 orders get 5 Product Hunt stickers. Giving PH first dibs at them—our BF media doesn't go out until 11a EST. ;)
