Field Notes is a limited edition print shop that produces quintessential booklets for all your note-taking, ideas and sketch needs. They owe their existence to a long tradition of old promotional memo books distributed to American farmers over the last hundred years by seed, tractor, and other agricultural companies. 75Built is proud to present Field Notes twelve American National Parks. This collaboration between the artists at The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series Field Notes covers millions of acres of American treasure and 5% of all purchases go to the National Parks Service to help preserve and expand on our nation’s best idea. Gorgeous illustrations of twelve iconic National Parks are featured on the covers of twelve Memo Books, which are grouped into the four 3-Packs that make up the “National Parks” Series. Choose your favorite 3-Pack, or collect them all. 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 the color of the paper into be incorporated 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.
