Edition #58 Notes
Dylan Goldberger is BACK for our fourth collab, right in time for celebrating Dog Gone Studios' fifth anniversary. Dylan drew a brand new piece for the cover that brings together all of the Dog Gone vibes, including: anthropomorphic animals, a great hang, fun!, and of course the use of boards for sport.
One of my favorite Dylan pieces is titled Beach Bound Hounds, and showcases a pack of excited pups in a car on their way to the beach. That illustration is part one the story.
The cover for our fourth collab features the second part of the story, showcasing the hounds in the water, happily surveying the waves. It's such a joyous scene, and it puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. As if that’s enough, the decorative endsheets inside tell the third part of the story, showing one of the hounds resting after a long day of surfing.
This notebook is the first time I've hand dyed the cover fabric, and also the first one with a two-color screenprint. A coordinating ruler/bookmark and stats card is included with each notebook.
Fray level: High
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers

Dapper Notes are the best quality pocket sized notebooks you can get. The textile cover and thread binding means the books will hold up through time. I love the thick paper as well; good for fountain pens.
