This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 100 gsm, rose Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn 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 red and white cotton, and its bookmark is red goatskin.  Its boards are wrapped in paper that was marbled in France, and it is half-leathered in black leather.

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 Norwegian 1 Krone coin, minted in 1966.  Horses can sleep standing up.  Sometimes you’ll be ready to try it, but you probably only have two legs, so don’t.

 This book is roughly 6 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages inside.
