Hey all, Baron Fig co-founder here. We're the guys who collaborated with Product Hunt last fall on the super popular Maker limited edition. We're back now with our first completely new notebook product since our first year when we launched. The Vanguard has been designed based on the community feedback we've been getting over the last couple of years. Rundown: Each pack comes with 3 notebooks. They're available in two colors (Charcoal and Light Gray) and three sizes (Pocket, Flagship, and Plus). I am extremely biased, but testing the Flagship Vanguard the past few months has been a treat. I absolutely love it.

Would you sell a mixed pack? Like a Pocket + Flagship + Plus combo. Then dot grid is an instant win in my books :)

@simonlea_ Good thought, we'll see where the future goes. For now, just glad to get them released :)

Solid work, as always! I'm never without my Confidant and look forward to picking up a few Vanguards. Joey/Adam—what's the difference between the Vanguard and the Apprentice, aside from new sizes and colors?

@trev Trevor, long time no see! Thanks for the good words. The Vanguard is replacing the Apprentice, but Pocket version is essentially the same as the Apprentice. Hope that helps!

Despite toting an Air with me wherever I go, I can't live without my pocket notebooks. These look beautiful. Thanks!

@sanooktiew Thanks appreciate it!

What's the expense ratio on these? :) Kidding! These look great, so glad you have dot grid.

@spaceprovided Sweet thanks Jordan!
Jack Smith
@spaceprovided what do you mean by expense ratio? do you mean markup? It's worth baring in mind that you get 3x for $12
Jack Smith
@spaceprovided got it. yeah, the name confused me initially as well

Everything BF makes is top notch - would expect more of the same from Vanguard!

Since when does a paper notebook fall under technology?

What are the dimensions please? I apologize, but I cannot find them on your site or in any thread.
bbinder
Nevermind; I see they are under the buy area - like you must attempt a purchase first, then you see the dimensions.

I am such a sucker for elegant looking notebooks.
