This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 85 gsm, hand-laid Arches 100% cotton rag archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 This book’s endbands are red and green silk, and its bookmark is red goatskin.  Its spine is covered in goatskin over raffia, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by at Relma in Paris, France.

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 1970 Mardi Gras doubloon.  Congratulations on your new home.  The first time I bought a house I laughed uncontrollably at the closing because seemingly rational people were pretending to sell me a chunk of the planet.  It’s your universe now.

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