Last Friday, volunteers and members of the Book of The North team took to the wetlands in northern Minnesota to harvest nettles for the project! These nettles will play an important part in creating the ink.

Armed with only a straightedge and a compass, these students found Jan Tschichold golden canon of page construction! Ever wondered why so many medieval pages looked small? It was because they could make all the pages symmetrical with no measurements!

Did you know? Recycling is far from a modern concept. Many of the centuries-old books we see have pages made from people’s used clothes. Dr. Twu brought some old books to the flax harvesting event, some that are older than America!
