This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584.  It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts.  This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a wartime, 1945 aeronautical map of the American Midwest, and the book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.

The talisman in this book is a 1945 “Walking Liberty” half dollar. The coin was minted from 1916-47, designed by Adolph Weinman; it is 90% silver and 10% copper, and collectible.
