Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
We all love to read and learn from books, but The Repurposed Library takes our passion even further, presenting us with 33 projects to makequite literallyout of books. For these projects, Lisa Occhipinti rescues and repurposes orphaned and outdated books from flea markets and library sales and turns them into new art objects and practical items for the home. Her creations range from artfully constructed mobiles, wreaths, and vases, to functional items like shelves, storage boxes, and even a Kindle 'keeper' for those who want to replicate the sensation of holding a 'real' book while reading from an ereader. Projects utilize every imaginable part of a bookfrom hardback cover to individual pagesand are a DIY celebration of a new way to view a book's potential.Praise for The Repurposed Library:'In an age when the bound book is an endangered species, [Occhipinti's] artwork is nicely topical. She now has a book of her own, The Repurposed Library, out this week from Stewart, Tabori & Chang. In it, she offers readers a howto guide to making household objects from, well, books, like a mirror, a lamp and a fire screen, as well as the winsome mobile shown on the cover.'

Furnished with cheery photographs and numerous handdrawn diagrams, this endearing book will appeal to veteran crafters and literati alike.'BUST magazineThe book is really wellmade, fittingly.
