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 mid-century Good Luck charm from the now defunct Ripley Believe it or Not Museum in Chicago, IL. We might believe in luck. Seems fortuitous?
This book is approximately 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
