Meet something that feels like it was made for you.
Field Note's 43rd seasonal release for Summer 2019 is the National Parks Edition. But wait, there's more! This edition is not just one set, but three. Choose from Series A- Yosemite, Acadia, and Zion; Series B- Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, and Mount Rainier; or Series C- Rocky Mountain, Great Smokey Mountains, and Yellowstone, Series D- Grand Teton, Arches, and Sequoia, Series E- Denali, Cuyahoga, Olympic National Parks, Series F- Glacier, Hawai'i Volcanoes, Everglades.
The covers are printed on a variety of colored 100-lb. cover stocks from the French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, using a custom, five-color process that started with under-printing white ink. This allowed Field Notes to incorporate the color of the paper into the artwork. The illustrative styles, the printing process, and the copper staples recall the heritage, and archival promotional materials and publications, of the National Park System.
Each book features a brief history of the park on its inside back cover, a spot for the official National Park Passport Stamp on the inside front cover, and 48 pages of Finch Opaque 60#T marked with a 3/16" graph to record your plans, routes, notes, and memories.
