This Field Notes Quarterly limited edition gets its name from the position of the elements copper, silver, and gold in the Periodic Table. ??Group Eleven?g features three standard Dot-Graph Memo Books. But aside from the size, there?ÇÖs not much standard about them.
Stylish and refined, each book in the 3-Pack represents one of the three precious metals and features a cover stamped in metallic hot-foil with matched staples, ink, and (for only the second time ever*) gilded page edges. The covers are a 120#C duplexed stock from Neenah, combining ??Solar White?g on the outside and ??Epic Black?g inside. Body pages are 70#T Finch Opaque with a dot-grid in matching metallic ink.
??Group Eleven**?g plays the shimmering colors of these three ??native metals?g off of the elegant white covers in a way that feels rich without being ostentatious. They?ÇÖre tastefully fit for Winter, especially for list-making and gift giving.
Proudly printed by the good people of eDOC Communications, Mount Prospect, Ill.
