Field Notes Winter 2020 Edition Snowy Evening

Field Notes has created a new limited edition run of notebooks for Winter of 2020! The 49th Quarterly Edition to is limited to 33,333 3-Packs. Each Memo Book cover features a unique snowflake illustration rendered by Brendan Dawes. Each snowflake is different, so every book is different, and so for the first time in a Quarterly Edition – Field Notes has individually numbered each book.

Inspired by the physics behind how ice crystals are formed in the atmosphere, Brendan crafted an algorithm that produced and rendered 99,999 lovely snowflake illustrations. With the expertise Field Notes' parterns at Lake County Press, the covers were printed over the course of five days on a next-generation digital press with white ink on “Deep Blue” Mohawk Carnival Vellum 80# cover. The Finch Opaque inside pages feature a special light-blue-gray snowflake dot-graph pattern. The books are bound with glossy white staples.

While creating this edition, it occurred to us that, like snowflakes, every Field Notes Memo Book is different. This time, that’s literally true. But what makes each book truly unique are the notes we write to ourselves on its 48 pages.
