This archival, hand-sewn album/scrapbook is made from Mohawk Superfine American- made, archival paper, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back to the ancient Copts.  This allows the book to lay open easily to any page.

This book’s endbands are black and white cotton, and its bookmark is black satin ribbon.  The book is half-leathered in black embossed leather, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, Italy.

 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 “Shift Key” shift key from a vintage typewriter.  Its lever raised the carriage so that they machine printed in all caps.  Go ahead. Scream.

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