The 67th Quarterly Edition for the summer of 2025 coincides with the American publication of Is a River Alive?, a brilliant and important new book by author Robert Macfarlane. Recounting three epic journeys, Macfarlane surveys the state of Earth’s rivers and the people who are fighting for them. It’s an impossibly large story, interwoven with an extremely personal fourth river tale.
Two of the three Memo Books in this 3-Pack reproduce the U.S.A. and U.K. hardcover edition covers, treated with matte, gloss, and reticulated U.V. varnishes. The third book features the labor of Donwood’s artistic process, the linocut itself—treated with matte and gloss U.V. varnishes. The embossing and varnishes lend an added tactile element to Donwood’s stunning visuals.
