Field Notes Birch Bark 3-Pack (Blank)

The 60th Field Notes Quarterly Limited Edition, for Fall 2023, is Birch Bark. It’s assimple, elegant, and austere as its name-sake tree.The genus Betula is known for its white, papery bark, evoked here by speckled 110# Mohawk Loop “Snow” cover stock, heavily debossed with just a hint of warm gray.

Bright green birch leaves turn radiant yellow in the autumn. When the leaves are gone in the winter, with snow on the ground, a birch stand becomes colorless, a perfect subject for dreamy black-and-white photos. These three seasonal stages are echoed in the green, yellow, and black staples of the books in each 3-Pack, and also in the graph colors of the 60# Finch Opaque body paper. This is a simple, practical edition; a successor to centuries of notes, proclamations and lists inscribed on birch bark.
