The first thing I thought of when I came across this MacBook BookBook was, “I want.” Plain, simple and utterly direct. I mean, it speaks to my soul…to who I am as a person. Ok, I’m getting way off course here.

As a writer, I’ve had to embrace the technology side of things, ok, I’m just talking about [my laptop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohann)—but it’s enough. With the [MacBook BookBook case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-amber-case), however, I can meld my passion for [classic, antique books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-tote) with my modern writing tool.
