This archival sketchbook/journal is sewn from 100 gsm 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 lie open easily at any page.

The book’s boards are wrapped a paper vellum facsimile of the United States’ Declaration of Independence from the United States’ National Archives, visible behind it is a line drawing of the eye and pyramid from the American dollar bill.  It symbolizes omnipresent watchfulness, the minimum requirement of a well-run democracy. 

The book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah. Its endbands and bookmark are goatskin.

The talisman in this book is a 1976 American one dollar coin, a relic from the country’s Bicentennial.  If you remember that, you’ve been witness to 20% or more of this country’s history.
