This book’s endbands are green and white cotton, and its bookmark is dark green goatskin. Its spine is covered in goatskin over rawhide, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett at Payhembury Papers in Cambridge, England. The end-papers were hand-marbled in Tibet.
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 bronze Seal of the State of Indiana issued in 1966 to celebrate the state’s sesquicentennial. In 2016 Indiana celebrated 200 years of Statehood. Longevity is sewn into this book.
This book is roughly 7 x 10” and contains a few more than 150 blank pages.
