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 are goatskin, and its bookmark is calfskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1939 world map, and the book is half-leathered in Badalassi Italian calfskin processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a 1945, Vichy-era, French 5 Franc coin; its map and coin effectively book-ending World War II.
