Last week we sent a bunch of Scout Books down to SXSW with @rohdesign and @austinkleon for their Visual Notetaking 101 panel.
Here is Nicholas is loading the offset plate into the Sakaruai press.
“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This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.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.

The exhibit consists of 27 portraits each numbered according to the chronological order in which they were painted.

Kristin Beadle was so kind as to send us some great photos from the exhibit opening night reception and some great closeups of the Scout Books as well.

His love for classical art and contemporary realism are at the heart of his work and quite apparent in this current exhibit. This three-hour head study series is Dubow’s first as a meditation on the form and essence of the subject with an emphasi s on decisive brush strokes.

We took some Hacienda Esmerelda beans over to our friends at Cellar Door Roasters and they brewed it for us using their hand-crafted pour-over set up.
Nicolas then added a few drops of the coffee to the ink, just to make these books extra special.
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 and list terms, demystified.

Junichi Tsuneoka is Stubborn Sideburn, a Seattle-based character designer and illustrator who created this awesome Make Your Own Scout Book. What got us excited is that he really understands the power of a pocket-perfect notebook! Sweet, typographically strong tidbits such as"Free your mind blank pages" and "A small book for big ideas" make us really excited. Oh! And don't forget about "Big ideas can fit in your pocket." We agree.
