For the celestially minded and lovers of dark light, we present Astra (Nova Stella) Ultra Lined Softcover Flexi Journal (Elastic Band Closure). This book cover, with its central star shape, exerts an emotional pull like the North Star for nighttime wayfarers.

Our Nova Stella cover comes from the 1789 binding of Missale Sacri Ordinis Praedicatorum, printed during the Settecento period by Octavio Puccinelli publishers. During this time, bookbinding became at once simpler and yet more complex. The sewing was done on recessed cords to give the spines a smooth appearance, and so, while the structure of books was uncomplicated, decoration became increasingly elaborate.

The free space around the central object is as important as the ornamentation that surrounds it, just as deep space is part of what makes stars so inspiring. Here we see brocade with floral and heart shapes, gilt-edged broad string iron lines, single punch gilding, and a cross with flowers and initials.
