Floral Observer / Taxonomy Press

When I saw this nature-themed, risograph-printed newspaper in person at the Seattle Art Book Fair, I was immediately charmed. It recalled the paper blizzard of hyperlocal newsletters, church circulars, school mimeographs, community broadsheets, and advertising placemats that drifted through ordinary life in my formative years. The Spring 2024 issue includes a bird-themed crossword, garden fails and wins, instructions on scattering seed, a story on trilliums, a letter from the editor, lists of nature sightings, and a classifieds back page.
