This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, rose 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 washi paper that was silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono silks are printed.  The spine is covered in Alran French goatskin, processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.

The talisman in this book is a souvenir from the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, a token from the Hoover Electric Cleaner booth, depicting a beleaguered housewife on her knees, thanking an angel for replacing the broom upon which she kneels.  The obverse of this coin reads: “Century of Progress 1933, Souvenir of the Hoover Exhibit.”
