Description

The 19th Quarterly Edition celebrates the wonders that cross the summer sky each night. The Night Sky 3-Pack features French Construction “Blacktop” covers, mapping out three sets of constellations that have graced the northern hemisphere summer sky long before “summer” was given a name. Constellations and popular asterisms are highlighted in silver holographic foil. Inside is our usual beloved Finch Opaque text paper, with a new “reticle-graph,” sort of a hybrid of our popular dot-graph and graph papers. It’s all bound together with shiny black staples[1].
