The Spring 2008 issue of Nota marked the first full-color magazine in NOTA's illustrious 25 year history. Up until this point, artists' work couldn't be represented as it was originally created. The cover is covered in the bugs that accompany the approach of warm weather. Touch them; they're shiny and have a slight texture.

This miniature issue features written work too long to fit into the standard issue. It used to be called The Fascicle. No one knew what that meant, so now it's called Pocket NOTA. It's pocket sized and actually fits in most pockets. Some people think 'it's cute', and one person even 'hugged it'.
