i got one for my birthday.

really? which one?

now youre pushing it....

nice site

what does it have on the cover?

brilliant idea. i'm going to buy one. or maybe some. when i've got more dollars.

i do not recall, 100sand1000s

we're going to be having some sort of birthday sale this year, so join the mailing list if you wanna be kept in the loop about that. the join thing is under all the links at the bottom of the page.

if anyone was thinking of checking out our wares, we have loads of new stock at the market for this weekend, plus it's 100s and 1000s birthday tomorrow so pop into Rose St and wish him a happy birthday!!!

ooooh... My friend bought one of those! but then he got the guilts about buying something that was made by killing a book. I think I might be with him, actually.

And yet - I hate vegans. Why is it different when it comes to books?

i like em!

Killing books or vegans?

a lot of the books that we used aren't in great shape, water damaged, moth or silverfish eaten too. and we buy the books from charity op shops where they're sitting gathering dust. we're giving the covers a new lease on life.

we donate all the insides of the books (the ones i don't read and keep) to a melbourne artist called Nick Jones who makes sculptures out of them.

Hi Miles,

You were telling me about these books at the rooftop pool party the other week. They look great.

Did you find any Sydney shops willing to stock them?

I miss not going to the Rose st Market evey saturday,
Maybe I should come by and actualy buy somthing from your stall for once.
hehe...

That's really good to know Miles. I hated the idea of the guts of these books being ripped out and then just left on the floor or something. I don't know why I'm getting so overwrought about it though.

They really do look cool.

I like this one

great books, better fish!

Go home, manchild!

oi!

come visit us sydney!!!

oooo, not long now, Rebound road trip. we're making books like crazy this week! there will be some gems for sure.

good feature about you guys in yesterday's Age newspaper

yeah, was pretty nice huh?

I'm off to my new job today... with ''Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories'' in tow!

These look great.
I'm going to go and check out the stock at the Glebe store when I get a chance.

we have a bunch of great new books up on the site that you can buy as well.
be quick though because we're featured in this months frankie magazine (which comes out today) and they'll be snapped up pretty quickly.

awesome stuff!

thanks f'n'g!
there's some rippers up there at the moment.

I just saw them in a bookshop in Sydney. Really cute! And are you selling in South Africa now too or is this who you got the idea from?

*For those Renaissance people out there who enjoy the past time of putting their daily musings to paper, Rebound Books is a nifty outfit based in Cape Town, South Africa that essentially ‘reclaims’ neglected old books into truly one-of-a-kind journals full of creamy, matte, environmentally friendly paper.

The binding is done by a master book binder, and he thread-sews sections by hand. The blank ''book-block'' is then glued to the cover to make a durable book that will last for decades. Since Rebound Books is not in the business to mass produce, but rather to create unique and quality journals for the design-discerning scribes of the world, they offer a pretty limited selection. That said, they seem willing to work special orders–so if you have a special hardback collecting dust that you want to resurrect, this might be the answer. No word on whether they’ll ship to the States, but it’d be worth an inquiry. If you’re in Cape Town, BIBLIOTEQ book store on 41 Kloof Street has them.*

we came up with the idea for Rebound and we've been handmaking our books for over 3 years now. i've only just discovered there's a Rebound in Cape Town, i think they've been around for just under a year, but they are a different company to us.

we've got a stall in Sydney at the moment at the Young Blood Design Market at the Powerhouse Museum as part of the Sydney Design Festival. the market is open from 10 to 6 today, Saturday and Sunday and we've got loads and loads of photo albums and notepads and books and sketch pads, so it's worth a look if you wanted to see our full range of stock.

our regular Melbourne markets are on this (and every!) weekend, Saturday at Rose St and Sunday at the Arts Centre on St Kilda Road.

there endeth the plug.

I'm gonna come by with the squeeze and see you at Rose Street tomorrow mm... i need a new little book for writing notes so if you have a nice on hand, keep it in mind for me! x

i bought one of these today at young blood. i like the touch of the old school library card at the back of the book.

that was me you bought it from fire biccies!!
Youngblood has been great so far.
If you're in Sydney folks, do yourself the proverbial favour for sure!!
