Field Notes Front Page People frequently asked us to make a Reporter’s Notebook and one person in particular was adamant about it. So we did. Our Summer 2016 “Byline” Edition was apparently exactly what people had hoped for. It was an instant classic, and quickly sold out. Then even more people wrote to ask us to make more Reporter’s Notebooks. So we did. They’re called “Front Page” and are now a permanent part of our line. For our 2019 printing of “Front Page” we have freshened things up and made a few changes. The cover is a heavier 130#DTC Neenah stock, in a dark “Wrought Iron” gray, with metallic silver ink. The innards are the same Cougar 70# text paper as always, but this time in a bright white with light gray college-ruled lines. The Double-O-Binding is black rather than silver. It looks and feels great. SPECIFICATIONS: 01. Proudly printed by the good people of eDoc Communications, Mount Prospect, Ill. 02. Cover: Neenah Environment 130#DTC “Wrought Iron” with a double-hit of “Hot Metal Silver” soy-based Toyo ink. 03. Innards: Cougar 70#T “White” vellum ruled with “Gray Lady” soy-based Toyo ink. 04.
