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 green, red, and gold silk, and its bookmark is red, French goatskin.  Its spine is covered in red, French goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett in Cambridge, England at Payhembury Papers.

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 1978, 100-lira coin from Italy.  Wherever you travel and however you go, in imagination or in an airplane or anything on the ground or seas in between, this book is ready to come along.

This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” and contains a few more than 150 blank pages.
