Bookbinding

Michael of A Continuous Lean. has just returned from an eight day adventure in Tokyo and I'm lusting after his quirky, preppy and well-engineered finds. Take this Porter x B Yoshida Book Strap for example, have you ever seen such a perfect way to bind your books?

Oh pretty. I'm one of those nerds that loved going back to school shopping. I get a high from being at staples plus I'm a complete book worm. I love this carrier.

Love it! Always a big fan of something preppy ... I wonder how many mags it would hold though? They are usually my book of choice!
