“THE BIRDS AND TREES OF NORTH AMERICA” EDITION

Our 64th Quarterly Limited Edition for fall, 2024 is “The Birds and Trees of North America” Edition, featuring the artwork of Rex Brasher (1869–1960)

Rex Brasher’s artistic talent, love of nature, technical expertise, and persistence offer an inspiring story that should be better known by anyone with an interest in birds, nature, or art. From a young age, Brasher committed to visiting all of America’s bird species in their natural habitats. He spent a lifetime traveling, collecting notes and drawings, writing personal, insightful descriptions, and painting and re-painting birds.

By the late 1920s, Brasher — nearly 60 years old — was finally satisfied with his paintings, and set out to publish a collection of his work. Unhappy with color printing options at the time, Brasher had the paintings reproduced in black-and white, then hand-colored all 87,000 pages of the nearly 100 sets of twelve volumes of The Birds and Trees of North America, which he completed in 1932.

We’ve carefully reproduced six of Brasher's colorful illustrations on two 3-Packs of Field Notes Ruled Memo Books. Covers are a lovely felt-textured 100#C Mohawk Via “Pure White,” bound by three stainless steel staples. The bodies are 60#T Domtar Lynx Opaque Ultra, ruled with pale gray lines.

THE FINAL FRONTIER OF PENS

There are fancier pens, there are more expensive pens, but there is no pen more versatile than the Fisher Space Pen™. Fisher’s bullet-shaped pen is less than four inches long when stowed in your flight suit pocket, but when deployed, it’s a full-sized, well-balanced writing instrument featuring Fisher’s famous cartridge: a precision-fitted tungsten carbide ballpoint with thixotropic ink in a sealed and pressurized reservoir

The Space Pen is the perfect match for our indefatigable Expedition Edition notebook. These pens are the real deal; they're precision-made, durable, and capable of writing in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, and at temperatures from −30 to 250°F (−35 to 120°C). They’re made in Boulder City, Nevada, U.S.A., and trusted by demanding users all over (and orbiting above) the planet Earth.

TOUGH ENOUGH

It has been a while since we have implemented a new format for a Quarterly Release, and it has been a really long while since we first considered this one. We hope you’ll agree, it has been worth the wait.

Introducing our completely new Seasonal Release for the Summer of 2020, the “Heavy Duty” Edition. Each pack contains a pair of memo-sized Work Books, durable enough for your toughest assignments.

The covers are made of extra-beefy “Super Duty Chipboard” and have been screen-printed with thick, opaque ink, one in DDC Orange and one in Blue Sky Blue. The “flip” books are bound from the top with sturdy Double-O Wiring, to make it easy to take notes with one hand while holding the book with the other. Each book contains 80 pages, Ruled on the front with a Double Graph Grid on the back, so you’ll have space for making lists and for sketching out plans too.

Each 2-Pack includes a “Stay-Shut” Band of Rubber, sized to keep things extra-solid when your “Heavy Duty” book is packed away. The wire rings are also a good place to stash the subscriber-exclusive “Natural Finish 3-Inch Field Notes Hex Pencil.” We hope these bad-ass little companions can help you stay one step ahead of your to-do list.
