Streetscapes Sketch Book 2-Pack

Field Note's first idea for the Spring 2023 Limited Edition revolved around urban architecture, and the juxtaposition of new and old styles in large American cities. At the same time, they were thinking that it was about time to create some proper Sketch Books with top-quality body paper. Bound inside by three black staples, you’ll find 48 plain pages of Mohawk Superfine “Ultra White” 70#T, a premium paper that’s ideal for sketching and artwork using a variety of media.
