This journal is made from 85 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France.  It is sewn with Belgian flax in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945.  This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page. 

Its endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is cotton velvet.  The spine is covered in top grain goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 2006 decommissioned nautical chart showing the routes from Ras Tarf to Oran.

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 cameo from the Gulf of Mexico, featuring a flying sailfish. Whatever you want, jump up and make it known.

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