This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched 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 yellow cotton, and its bookmark is red grosgrain ribbon. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled in France.
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 from the late 1930’s or early 1940’s, when Colorado instituted a 2% sales tax, then minted a coin to pay it. Money is an illusion. Enjoy the spectacle.
This book is roughly 6 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages inside.
