This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, blue-green Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its spine is covered in goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 1958 blueprint from the Babcock and Wilcox Kyger Creek Ohio Valley Electricity Corporation.
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 souvenir medallion from the Thirty-Third Olympiad, the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Paris in 1924. It was struck by the Monnaie de Paris, the French Mint. Here’s to practice and podium dreams.
This book is approximately 6.5 x 9.5” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
