This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts.  It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.

 This book’s endbands are green and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin.  Its spine is covered goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 1950 map of Western Europe, featuring Ireland on its cover.

 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 book is 1995 Irish 2 pence coin featuring the “Brian Boru” harp that is the national symbol of Ireland, and of Guinness.  So good for you.

This book is approximately 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
