Field Notes’ 60th Quarterly Limited Edition for Fall 2023 is called “Birch Bark.” It is as simple, elegant, and austere as the tree that inspired it. The birch tree is known for its white, papery bark, which is evoked in this edition by the speckled 110# Mohawk Loop “Snow” cover stock, which is heavily debossed with a hint of warm grey. Priced at $14.95 for a three-pack, these autumnal notepads will make an excellent addition to anyone’s EDC lineup this fall.

The colour of birch leaves changes with the seasons. In the spring and summer, they are bright green. In the fall, they turn radiant yellow. And in the winter, when the leaves are gone, the trees stand colourless against the snow, making them an ideal subject for dreamy black-and-white photos. The three seasonal stages of the birch leaves are replicated in the colours of the staples in the 3-Pack books: green, yellow, and black. The graph colours of the 60# Finch Opaque body paper also reflect the changing seasons.

This limited edition set is part of Field Notes’ Quarterly Edition Series, which is available to purchase as one off or as a year-long subscription that includes two packs of each quarterly release, as well as exclusive bonus pieces with each edition.
