The Spring 2012 National Crop Edition was the first really "over the top" design. Six individual notebooks representing America's six most grown crops. Each one offers crop info and stats. It came with a pullout poster of the United States showing where each crop is most plentiful. And the cherry on top, a "nice patch for your overalls." Housing all of this was a nice sturdy (but expensive to produce) presentation box.
