This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584.  It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts.  This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1949 map of Francre. The book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.

The talisman in this book is a 1889 souvenir from the Exposition Universelle, when the Eiffel Tower debuted.  This coin was available for purchase and engraving at the top of the tower, for those who made the climb to its top.  It cost one franc to enter the World’s Fair, and three to access the stairs in the Eiffel Tower.
