$200.00

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 are blue and white linen, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in paper that was silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono silks are printed, and its spine is covered in Saffiano goatskin, the finish preferred by the Italian house Prada; it was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.

The talisman in this book is a mid-century table tennis medal. The origins of table tennis are British, and before it was colloquially called “ping-pong,” it went by such names as “whiff-waff,” “flim-flam,” and “Gossima.”  Whatever you call it, you get the back and forth of a long volley and why it is a metaphor for negotiation.

Includes coordinating slipcase
