FIELD NOTES FALL FLOWERS (Limited Edition) 3-Pack. Late Bloomers We’re thrilled to present our 68th quarterly edition, “Fall Flowers,” celebrating three common late-season blooms that don’t get the hype they deserve. Spring flowers get all the press, but the purple coneflower, false foxglove, and common chicory are all still here for us when the days get shorter and colder. We asked Jennifer Farrell of Starshaped Press to draw the trio in the decorative style of early-20th-century “publishers’ bindings” and her charming illustrations couldn’t have pleased us more. Additionally, Laura Garcia of Paper Perennial is the artist responsible for the beautiful flower-making in the film that accompanies this release, Coneflower, Foxglove, and Chicory. To emulate the texture and finish of dusty, well-worn cloth books from more than a hundred years ago, we printed the covers with three subtle metallic inks (1, 2, 3) on Mohawk’s new “Midnight Blue” 100#C Mosaic stock with a “burlap” finish. The inside back covers features a bit of data about each flower, plus a scaled-down list of Practical Applications. The bodies are ruled in light blue-gray, on our ever-popular 60#T Domtar Lynx stock. SPECIFICATIONS: 01. Proudly printed by the good people of The Graphic Arts Studio, LLC, Barrington, Ill. 02. Cover: Mohawk Mosaic 100# C “Midnight Blue” in Burlap, with a thick, brute force application of “Coneflower Mauve” and “Deep Denim” soy-based Superior inks. 03. Innards: Domtar Lynx Opaque 60#T “White,” with a fine, 1-color application of “Autumn Sky” soy-based Superior ink. 04.

Bound with a Muller Martini 6-pocket saddle stitcher with cover feeder/scorer, with appreciation to Samuel Slocum, George W. McGill, and William J. Brown, the “Founding Fathers of the Staple.” 06.
