N.B. This is a commissioned book and nfs.

This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany since 1584, sewn 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 silk, and its bookmark is goatskin.  Its boards are wrapped in paper that was printed in Italy, and its spine is covered in French Alran goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.

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 wartime, 1950, aluminum, Italian 10 Lira coin.  During the 1950s, under mayor Giorgio La Pira, Florence Italy gained its first modernist architecture with its municipal train and soccer stations.
