RIPE FOR THE PICKING

Appropriately launched on the Autumnal Equinox, Field Note's limited release for the Fall of 2021 is the “Harvest” Edition. Noted American artist John Burgoyne’s illustrations grace the covers of the six Memo Books in this series, featuring fruits and vegetables commonly harvested in the Fall. Two 3-Packs (Pack A and Pack B) contain all six versions, and subscribers get both. These packs are perfect for the foodie or gardener on your gift list.

IMPRESSIONS

The illustrations are embossedinto a new – and perfect for this edition – cover stock. Mohawk’s “Renewal” line uses rapidly renewable resources. Field Notes selected their “Fiber White,” which is made from hemp fiber blended with post-consumer paper waste and responsibly sourced virgin fibers. This lovely and sturdy cover stock takes the embossing beautifully and makes the most of John Burgoyne’s delicate ink-and-watercolor technique.

John’s intricate and instantly recognizable illustrations regularly appear in Cook’s Illustrated, National Geographic, and other publications. We visited him on Cape Cod and had a chat about his work and career.
