HAMILTON TYPE MUSEUM | small handmade coptic bound blank book diary journal notebook original cover photo variation | aBoBoBook

Sorry, this item has sold.

Rick's cover photo was taken in July 2012 at the original Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin (the original facility was demolished in 2015). For a book series celebrating Hamilton, Rick manipulated the image using a variety of techniques.

Hamilton is dedicated to the preservation, study, production, and printing of wood type. At their annual Wayzgoose in 2014, I participated in a terrific bookbinding workshop taught by Mary Sullivan (“tomboy” on Etsy), was enchanted by Coptic binding, and later launched aBoBoBook.

Book Details:
- single-needle coptic binding
- using maroon thread
- black front and back cover stock
- dimensions are approximately 4" x 6"
- comprised of six signatures
- totaling 120 pages
- French's Speckletone paper
The result is a soft-cover coptic-bound blank book that lies flat when opened.

Bound blank paper should encourage the pleasures of handwriting, doodling, and creative thinking, but a common refrain is "Oh, it's too nice to write in" ... aBoBoBook Bargains are offered in a shameless attempt to reduce those inhibitions — and the purchase price (our Shop Announcement has lots of suggestions for putting your blank book to use).
