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 was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is pigskin.  Its spine is covered in pigskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 1958 blueprint from the Babcock and Wilcox Kyger Creek Ohio Valley Electricity Corporation.

 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 a mid 20th-Century souvenir from the Nation’s Capitol Building, which was completed during the Civil War.  Plan for a better future.

This book is approximately 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
