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.
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.

In true 33 Books fashion, this journal comes complete with a flavor wheel and list terms, demystified.

Girls Can Tell is a small screen printing shop in Philadelphia. Their Etsy shop is chock-full of useful items, including these Scout Books illustrated with informative and beautiful diagrams by Sara Selepouchin. I think my favorite is the brain.

Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.
