Field Notes National Parks Series D (Grand Teton, Arches, Sequoia; 3-Pack, graph) Since the early days of Field Notes they have been searching for just the right way to create an edition celebrating America's National Parks. When they saw the work of the artists of The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series, they knew exactly what to do. Field Notes is proud to present this collaboration and invite you to check out three 3-Packs and 52 million acres of American treasure. They're donating five percent of retail and wholesale purchases to the National Parks Service, to help preserve and expand on our nation's 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. SERIES A 3-PACK Includes Yosemite National Park and Zion National Park, both by Dan McCarthy, and Acadia National Park by Telegramme Paper Co. SERIES B 3-PACK Grand Canyon National Park by DKNG Studios, Joshua Tree Nat'l Park by The Little Friends of Printmaking, Mount Rainier Nat'l Park by Glenn Thomas. SERIES C 3-PACK Rocky Mountain National Park by Rory Kurtz, Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Chris Turnham, Yellowstone National Park by Brave the Woods. SERIES D 3-PACK Grand Teton National Park by Eric Nyffeler, Arches National Park by Nicolas Delort, Sequoia National Park by Glenn Thomas. SERIES E 3-PACK Denali 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 coloured 100-lb. cover stocks from the French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, using a custom, five-colour process that started with under-printing white ink. This allowed Field Notes to incorporate the colour 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. NATIONAL TREASURE These Field Notes are a tribute to places in the U.S.A. that can only truly be appreciated in person. Please visit, enjoy, and support all National Parks. We hope when you visit your favourite national park, you'll bring along your new favourite memo book, get it stamped, and tag us in your photos.
