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 1966 Aeronautical sectional chart covering Lake Michigan and the upper midwest, and the book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a coin commemorating the 1959 cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles, and the dawn of the jet age. Its obverse reads: “On January 25, 1959, a Boeing 707 jet left New York bound for Los Angeles. The flight marked the beginning of non-stop passenger service across the U.S. and ushered in an age of luxury air travel.”
