This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook 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. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page. The book’s leaves are decorated on recto, featuring vintage display advertising cuts that were printed using our 1882 Golding Pearl #1 printing press.
This book’s endbands are calfskin, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1956 map of the Nation’s Capital and its surroundings, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a good luck charm from the 1928 Herbert Hoover campaign. It’s obverse reads, “Good for 4 YEARS of Prosperity.” That turned into bitter irony when, during his first year in office, the U.S. stock market crashed, sending the globe into world-wide economic depression.
