This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique 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 lie open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1931 map of Illinois, and the book is half-leathered in hand-finished Alran French Goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah. Its ormolu was hand-applied, using tools carved by Kevin Noakes in Rustington, West Sussex, England.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir from the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, touting “A Century of Progress.”
