This archival, hand-sewn journal 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 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 blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin.  Its spine is covered in top-grain, aniline-dyed kid, and its boards are wrapped in a detail from a 1957 map of Europe, and the endpapers in the book are that original, 1957 map.

 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 1982, 2-Franc coin from France, featuring the image of a sower. The old world is a perfect place for new beginnings.
