Field Notes United States of Letterpress C: Rick Griffith, Erin Beckloff, Starshaped (Graph Paper) F

48th quarterly limited edition in the fall of 2020 became "United States of Bookpress", which features the work of nine independent book printers from all over America. This series demonstrates a wide range of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and love for the timeless process of book printing.

With the help of friends from Finch Paper of Glens Falls, New York, and The French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, Field Notes sent a different color cover to each store (all from the French Pop-Tone series) and specified only two identical colors of ink (Rubine Red and Process Blue) for all notebooks from this edition. The results are as diverse and thoughtful as the participating printers.

The layouts, themes, and references of individual printers, who continue the tradition of American book printing, are highly personal testimonies to heritage, geography, tradition, and social issues, and also demonstrate the diversity and strength of today's book printing.

This project was created thanks to the craftsmanship and creativity of twelve printers across the United States, with the help, skill, and know-how of countless other printers, collectors, and enthusiasts.

The packaging includes one notebook from two versions designed by Rick Griffith from Denver, Colorado. One of two versions from Erin Beckloff from Springboro, Ohio. And one from Starshaped Press from Chicago, Illinois.

Field Notes notebooks are durable and flexible, designed to withstand being carried in your pocket. They are bound by a robust saddle stitch process with three staples. On the front cover, you can write your contact information and humorously state that the person who returns your lost book will be rewarded. The notebooks are made and printed in the USA.
