Pittsburgh
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique 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 and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1945, World War II-era, U.S. Department of Commerce aeronautical map showing approaches to Pittsburgh. The book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin, processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.
The talisman in this book is a silver, 1945 half dollar coin. In 1945, fifty cents could get you a sandwich and a cup of coffee at a decent coffee shop. Today, you’d be lucky if it could get you a cracker and a glass of water. Moral to the story: spend now!
