Have you seen work by Neapolotian yet? It's pretty darn cool! You see, they re-cover vintage books by replacing the old original jacket with a hand-calligraphed, chic looking paper jacket.
I can't tell you how much I adore this idea. If you saw this book on a coffee table you'd probably be sort of puzzled by the fact that you'd recognize the title but didn't recall it ever being in that jacket!! It's so unexpected....but adorable. I am looking to get 1 in the python printed paper, or maybe even 2, that's how neat these are.

What an awesome idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...and perfectly gorgeous...I have about 300 books on my shelves, in my office, and these would take my office to the next level (well, once I'm completely done with the reno)...so I'm going to check these out. I hope they're not too expensive :)
ReplyDeleteOh..I just checked out the etsy shop and I guess the jacket comes with the actual book...So, this wouldn't work for my office since I have my own books.
ReplyDeleteI guess buying specialty paper and covering my own books would also work.
So romantic... I love that script!
ReplyDeleteSimple and chic- I absolutely adore!
ReplyDeleteCarpe Diem - you could buy the same flat sheet paper from www.papermojo.com and cover your own books. Some of the papers Neapolitan uses are on clearance for ultra cheap
