The 66th Quarterly Limited Edition for the Spring of 2025 is The Chicago Look, Edition which explores a chapter of American design and typographic history through the lens of a single, highly influential and sadly now-defunct enterprise.

The Beverly Sign Co. put Chicago at the center of the mid-century sign-painting map with its panelized compositions, novel typographic treatments, and bold colors. This style came to be known as The Chicago Look.

These note books are a new size for Field Notes; a handy 6″ 8.” The 64 pages are graph-ruled in Non-Repro Blue, a particular shade that is still used in the graphic arts industry to be easily removed from photostats or scans of black-and-white artwork. As usual, the inside covers are full of historical information, illustrations, and wise-cracking.

Cover art by Heart & Bone Signs, Chicago, Ill. (chicagosignpainters.com) in collaboration with Bob Behounek.
