This collection of book-inspired designs are perfect for extending your love of literature to other areas of your life. Reading a book is not only a great way to fill an afternoon, but also a fantastic source of inspiration and the items you'll find here draw influence directly from the bound paper products themselves.
There are a few fashion items like the Louis Vuitton Book Handbag that resembles a classic novel with handles attached, which adds a whole other level to the concept of librarian-chic. If you want to add a little literature-inspired design to your home, these finds also incorporate smartphone chargers that have been created using an actual book. For tricking on lookers, there are a few different book-like cases for your tablet to help keep your computing discrete.
