Apollo 8
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that dates back to the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are black and white cotton, and its bookmark is black sheepskin. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono fabric is printed.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this journal is a 1968 commemorative coin celebrating the Apollo 8 mission in which American astronauts Frank Borman, James Lowell, and William Anders were the first humans to see and photograph the dark side of the moon. Got a dark side yourself? Write it out.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with more than 150 blank pages.
