Fancy pondering the existentialism of H2O while jotting down your shopping list? Field Notes’ 67th Quarterly Edition, the “Is a River Alive?” Edition ($14.95), is here to help. Coinciding with Robert Macfarlane’s new book, this 3-pack features Stanley Donwood’s “Meander” linocut cover art, inspired by rivers doing their wiggly thing (apparently, “Fisk maps” are a thing).





Two notebooks mimic the US and UK book covers with fancy matte, gloss, and “reticulated UV varnishes” (sounds posh). The third showcases the linocut itself, for when you need artistic inspiration for your doodles. Inside, graph paper pages await your profound thoughts (or grocery reminders), printed in “Cloud Forest Grey” ink. Subscribe annually ($120) and you’ll even get a Fisk Map of the Mississippi’s ancient meanderings, plus some river facts. Finally, stationery that makes you contemplate fluvial sentience.
