Turn your unwanted used books into purses?  Yes, you can.  Caitlin does it and does it damn well.  I came across her website, Rebound Designs, and saw all the cute little purses she made out of old, ready-to-be-thrown-away, used books.

Like this one, made from dear little Nancy Drew – the Mystery of the Fire Dragon.  Isn’t it ingenious?  And Caitlin said if you don’t use it as a purse, you can put it on the shelf just like a book.
