FIELD NOTES - IS A RIVER ALIVE? 3 PACKS *LIMITED EDITION*

FIELD NOTES – SUMMER 2025 QUARTERLY EDITION “IS A RIVER ALIVE?” 3-PK 🌊📖✨
Limited Edition • Only 30,000 Packs Worldwide • A Flow of Art, Nature, and Wonder 💎🌍

Dive into something extraordinary. The FIELD NOTES SUMMER 2025 QUARTERLY EDITION – “IS A RIVER ALIVE?” is not just another notebook release — it’s a celebration of life, creativity, and the natural world 🌿💦. This stunning edition flows in harmony with the U.S. publication of Robert Macfarlane’s groundbreaking book Is a River Alive?, a lyrical and powerful exploration of humanity’s relationship with rivers across the planet.


THE STORY BEHIND THE EDITION 📚💫

Author Robert Macfarlane, a long-time Field Notes user, carried these notebooks with him through years of travel and research, filling their pages with encounters, sketches, and discoveries. As he puts it:

“These notebooks were my constant companions during the years of writing Is A River Alive? … Into them I poured the glitter of primary encounter; image, dialogue, idea. They got dog-eared and foxed and soaked –– and filled with words.”

To complete the circle, Field Notes has released this breathtaking edition inspired by his writing and artistic partnership with the legendary Stanley Donwood — best known for his hauntingly beautiful artwork for Radiohead and The Smile.


THE DESIGN 🎨🌊

Each of the three memo books in this Limited Edition 3-Pack is a piece of art in motion:

  • Two covers reproduce the U.S.A. and U.K. hardcover editions of Macfarlane’s book, printed with layers of matte, gloss, and reticulated UV varnish.

  • The third features Donwood’s mesmerizing hand-carved linocut “Meander”, the original artwork that inspired the collection.

Printed on Sappi McCoy 100#C Silk cover stock, the designs shimmer with texture, depth, and sculpted embossing — evoking the movement of rivers, the shimmer of sunlight, and the flow of time itself. 🌅✨

Inside, you’ll find 48 pages of Domtar Lynx Opaque 60#T “White” paper, printed with a “Cloud Forest Gray” dot-grid — smooth, subtle, and ready for exploration, reflection, or discovery.
