This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a contemporary tourist map of Chicago and its suburbs, and its spine is covered with Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir from the 1933 Chicago, “Century of Progress” World’s Fair. The fair was held on Northerly Island, which actually was a peninsula, constructed for the event. 41°51′38″N 87°36′41″W
