Colophon:

 This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is dark blue satin ribbon.  Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are in a 1968 blueprint from Alied Architectural Steel Companies’ plans for the Indianapolis International Harvester Building.

 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 journal is a transportation token from Indianapolis Railways featuring the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument in its center.  The plans you make today will be the history you recall tomorrow.

This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
