SEE THE WORLD IN SHAPES
“Flora” was (or is, depending on your theology) the Roman goddess of flowers, the fertility of the land, and the coming of spring. We’ve borrowed her name for our 62nd Quarterly Edition. Three original designs (A, B, and C) by Chicago artist, muralist, and designer Emmy Star Brown grace the covers of these bright, joyful Memo Books.
Emmy‘s work evokes the creativity of our youthful selves… and, well… let’s let her explain it herself:
WHAT COLOR ARE THEY? YES.
It‘s been some time since we’ve offered anything this colorful. These vibrant colors and shapes, printed on high-quality 100#C McCoy cover stock from Sappi, are precisely what we all need to break out of the bleak winter and into the hopeful spring. The artwork is enhanced by the subtle application of contrasting glossy and dull varnishes. Inside you’ll find three distinct page styles: one ruled, one dot graph and one plain, featuring subtle grey ink on excellent Domtar Lynx 60#T paper. Glossy red staples tie it all together, figuratively and literally.
Our Quarterly Editions are limited. So like spring itself, they won‘t be around long.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
Sad news, Friends... Our physical store in Biltmore Village has been completely destroyed. It's been devastating for us and has been emotionally hard to process or even get our minds around. The flood waters basically swirled all the way to the ceilings, smashing everything to bits and leaving everything coated in toxic mud.
During our transition we set up a "Current Offerings" shopping page where we are adding new items daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have this temporary shopping page expanded to a complete website in the next month.
If any of you feel inclined, we have set up a Go Fund Me site for donations. Here is the link to that: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
