Field Notes - Birch Bark Graph Paper (Limited)
Bright green birch leaves turn radiant yellow in the autumn. When the leaves are gone in the winter, with snow on the ground, a birch stand becomes colorless, a perfect subject for dreamy black-and-white photos. These three seasonal stages are echoed in the green, yellow, and black staples of the books in each 3-Pack, and also in the graph colors of the body paper.
This is a simple, practical edition; a successor to centuries of notes, proclamations and lists inscribed on birch bark. As Robert Frost told us, “One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.”
