This journal/sketchbook is made from 120 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France. It is sewn with Belgian flax in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands are red and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. The spine is covered in goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Regina and Daniel St. John at Chena River Marblers in Amherst, MA.
The talisman in this book is a Roman coin, certified as authentic, but perhaps too perfect, even at its price. Authenticity can be difficult to gauge. When you find it, grasp it.
