Is a River Alive?

Field Notes Summer 2025 – 67th Quarterly Edition: Is a River Alive? Memo Book 3-Pack

Celebrate the Summer 2025 release of our 67th Field Notes Quarterly Edition, inspired by the U.S. publication of Is a River Alive?, a profound new book by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane. This special edition explores the world’s rivers through three epic journeys and a deeply personal fourth story—capturing the beauty, urgency, and resilience of Earth’s waterways.

Each Field Notes Memo Book features highly textured, full-color covers printed and embossed on premium Sappi McCoy 100#C Silk stock. Inside are 48 pages of Domtar Lynx 60#T paper, printed with a custom “Cloud Forest Gray” graph grid and bound with three gloss-white staples.

• Two books in the 3-Pack replicate the cover designs of the U.S. and U.K. hardcover editions, enhanced with matte, gloss, and reticulated UV varnishes.

• The third Memo Book showcases Stanley Donwood’s linocut artwork, finished with matte and gloss UV coatings for added texture and depth.

The combination of embossed covers, UV varnish treatments, and thoughtful design creates a rich tactile and visual experience—making this edition a must-have for collectors, writers, and Field Notes fans.
