Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, list-makers, travellers, students, poets and diarists. Features a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year. A NEW SERIES. The Quarto format is named after the earliest form of European printed publication, dating back to the 1400s when Gutenberg invented the first moveable-type printing press, heralding a revolution in mass communication, spreading ideas of literature, science and philosophy of the Renaissance. We celebrate this with our range of fine art and contemporary illustrations. BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red endpapers. The covers are created by our artists and designers who spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3D masterpieces that feel good in the hand, and look wonderful on a desk, table, in the hand and in your bag. PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features too: the high-quality, 120-gsm lined pages are FSC, Acid Free and Bleed Proof - suitable for all pen types, such as gel and rollerball. A pocket at the back for scraps and receipts, two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list, and a magnetic side flap helps keep everything neat and tidy. THE ARTIST. Kate Heiss is a contemporary British printmaker who creates limited edition screen prints and linocuts on paper. After graduating with an MA in Textile Design from the Royal College of Art in 1997, she worked as a textile designer across a wide range of fashion brands before setting up her own printmaking studio in 2011. Kate creates dynamic and vibrant prints inspired by her love of nature, the flowers and birds in her garden, rural landscapes and her love of bold, colourful floral patterns found in textiles. Her work is handmade in her studio in Hertfordshire and is regularly exhibited across the UK. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
