“These words shaped history. They belong to you. Know them.”
This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.
Scout Books is proud to introduce a pocket-sized edition of the Constitution of the United States of America. Containing the Preamble, the seven Articles and the twenty-seven Amendments, this tiny book packs the content into 32 pages and is wrapped in a two-color chipboard cover printed in black and metallic gold inks. Typeset in the oh-so-legible Gotham font by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, this little guy is a contemporary update on a crucial text that aims to make the supreme law of the land more accessible. The front cover boasts Museo Slab, designed by the talented Jos Buivenga.
My goodness, that's a good looking book.

Fun, funky work from Amy Martino! Amy is a NYC based graphic designer and illustrator, and her bright, textured work has us swooning.

Oh yes, and metallic gold. Don't forget about the metallic gold.

Stitch Design Co. created these charming Scout Books as promotional tools for Pearl, a collection of Lexington, KY's finest wedding professionals. When managing plans and jotting down wedding inspiration, it only makes sense to have a Scout Book. See Pearl's little notebooks in action and the cute striped pencils they were paired with on the Stitch blog. Very cute.
Java City was founded in Sacramento, CA in 1985 and has grown to be a hand-crafted, specialty coffee roaster, retailer and wholesaler.

Java City's designer, Amber Witzke, created this Outside the Box Scout Book to be sold as a distinctive, fun and affordable product in their merchandise line-up at their cafes

From Dave Selden, the creator of 33 Bottles of Beer and 33 Bottles of Wine, with a little help from Chris Tacy and Brent Fortune, comes 33 Cups of Coffee. And none too soon as the Winter months are in full swing! Nothing comes close to a piping hot cup of coffee when it’s chilly out.
In true 33 Books fashion, this journal comes complete with a flavor wheel, demystifier, and of course, a little something in the ink! That’s right, a few drops of coffee were added to the ink during the printing of this book.
So head over to your favorite coffee shop or brew some up at home and start your coffee-tasting adventure with this great journal in hand!

When Will Bryant and Mark Menjivar join forces, terrific things happen. Terrific chipboard things, to be specific.
Will and Mark worked together to create this identity system for the youth advocacy arm of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA). Mark works with TRLA to offer aid to youth experiencing homelessness. He got in touch with Will to help him create a series of print items that could be at once beautiful, useful and durable. From that collaboration came three print pieces: a business card, a pocket postcard, and a Scout Book with custom-printed interiors that acts as a Youth Rights Booklet. Will also did the lettering and design for the snazzy TRLA Youth website. Chipboard internet? We’re into it.
In addition to being a chance to create a set of fun printed pieces, Will looks at this collaboration as an opportunity to help out: ”Enabling youth [with] the opportunity to better their circumstances is huge! Most of the kids come from rough backgrounds, so having access to this knowledge empowers them and provides hope for the future,” he told us. “It’s a blessing to be involved with a project that does this.”
Formerly known as Polychrome San Francisco, Standard Studio has launched its new identity and website, and included in the new launch is this fantastic Scout Book.
Standard is a small firm whose members share a common point of view and a common inspiration in utilitarian design. This Scout Book is the culmination of all these things. It was inspired by an old WWII canvas bag with the words "bag for inserting dies and No. 4 grommets" on the front. Standard loved the idea of applying the same approach to their books, thus the copy on their Scout Book. The word is that the books have already been a big hit.
“These words shaped history. They belong to you. Know them.”
This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.

The Industrial Design Society of America went all out with a three-pack of custom interior Scout Books, complete with a pull out section! They were created by Ziba for an IDSA “cross-craft” discussion about DIY design held right here in Portland, Oregon. The three-pack consists of one part sweet Portland city guide, one part informative conference/symposium particulars, and one part handy, blank sketchbook.
We shipped down a handful of DIY Scout Books to our friend Will Bryant and his design collaborative Public School for them to use at Renegade Craft Fair in Austin last weekend!
They had rubber stamps available to customize your own Scout Book in real time.

Alex Fuller makes beautiful, bright, bold work. In addition to being a partner at The Post Family, Alex is the co-founder of the Illustration Corporation and helped create Ogilvy’s brand design group, 485. Alex, you're a very busy guy!
We very excited that he took the time to fill this Scout Book so expertly with collage work. We even see some letterpress bits and pieces in there!
Robert Botsford's work can be found at fastlikerabbit.com. This business card of his makes perfect sense.
We. Love. These. Cards.
Jill Bliss is awesome, and this new work she debuted at the Land Gallery back in January has made its way to printed matter. Find these in Jill's online shop or at the Land store in Portland.
