NATIONAL PARKS

Since the early days of Field Notes we have been searching for just the right way create an edition celebrating Americas National Parks. When we saw the work of the artists of The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series, we knew exactly what to do. Were proud to present this collaboration and invite you to check out three 3-Packs and 52 million acres of American treasure. Were donating five percent of retail and wholesale purchases to the National Parks Service, to help preserve and expand on our nations best idea.

Gorgeous illustrations of nine iconic National Parks are featured on the covers of nine Memo Books, which are grouped into the three 3-Packs that make up the National Parks Series. Choose your favorite 3-Pack, or collect them all.

SERIES E 3-PACK

Danali National Park by Dan McCarthy, Cuyahoga Valley National Park by Kim Smith, Olympic National Park by Daniel Danger.

A STEP BACKWARDS

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 us 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.
