More interesting to look at than a Moleskine and just as satisfying to hold, Rebound Books inject a lease of new life into dust-covered hardbacks.
Writer’s block could become redundant beneath the cover of a well-worn masterpiece. Each journal takes an old book cover, which is refilled with recycled denim paper and bound to create a blank notebook.
Those clutching their favourite dust-jackets and wondering after the original texts can rest easy, all innards are donated to Melbourne artist Nick Jones, who carves, folds and tears them to make sculptures and other oddities.
