The talisman in this book is a 19th Century French marriage medallion, bearing the inscription: Mariage/Chretien (Christian Marriage) and signed by Pengret F.

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 19th Century French marriage medallion, bearing the inscription: Fidelite/Bonheur (Loyalty/Happiness) and signed by Petit F.
