"I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now"

Field Notes soft cover notebooks almost smell like grass.  Stemming from agricultural roots, these classy notebooks help keep your thoughts in order for today.

Rest assured, much thought goes into each notebook thanks to the partnership between the Draplin Design Company of Portland, Oregon and Coudal Partners of Chicago.

The FIELD NOTES 48th Quarterly Limited Edition for the Fall of 2020 is the “United States of Letterpress,” which features the work of nine independent letterpress shops from across America. This series demonstrates a wide array of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and love for the age-old and tactile process of letterpress printing.

With the help of Finch Paper of Glens Falls, New York, and The French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, we shipped each shop a different colour cover stock (all from French’s Pop-Tone line) and specified the same two ink colors (Rubine Red and Process Blue) for all of them. The results are as varied and thoughtful as the participants involved.

Continuing a tradition embossed into the history of American letterpress printing, the layouts, themes and messages are highly personal statements about heritage, geography, tradition, and social issues, and they also demonstrate the diversity and strength of today’s letterpress community.
