Here are projects for the "pages": 40 innovative book-making ideas using recycled and green materials! More than just earth-friendly, they're also beautiful, clever, and witty, stitched with traditional binding techniques.  Egg cartons, wood, beer cans, and cassette tapes morph into covers, while brown bags, coffee filters, and discarded newspapers are transformed into pages. Create a boxed set of cereal box books, an exposed stitch sketchbook out of cardboard and remnants, and even a faux leather journal made from teabags. In addition to how-to drawings, close-up detail photographs, and simple stitch diagrams, a gallery of eco-books from an international roster of artists provides inspiration.

yes, I REALLY am going to use a book made of egg cartons. Try using your imagination for once.

Is anyone really going to use a book made out of egg cartons?

Great ideas for creating handmade books.

The projects described in this book are not for the average punter! The projects look very professional. I like the idea behind this American book though, recycling all the paper (and some non-paper such as mouse pads) products we come across in our daily lives - into books.

"700 pounds of paper? Are you surprised to learn that the average person consumes approximately that much paper a year?" - page 6.
