Return of the King Paperback Wallet made from Vintage Book

Description

This wallet is made from a gorgeous vintage copy of JRR Tolkien's "The Return of the King," from his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Of every paperback edition ever printed, this is my favorite, because all three covers put together form a complete picture, and it's also the edition I grew up reading.

The front and back covers have been covered in a matte water-resistant vinyl, and lined with the map from the front of the book, also protected by vinyl. The 2 outer card pockets are sewn on from a shiny clear vinyl. The edges are finished with black bias tape, and the wallet is held closed by a black elastic strap.

This paperback wallet measures 7" long by 4.25" wide when unfolded, and fits American currency perfectly. All standard business cards and credit cards will fit in the card pockets. This wallet is unisex, great for men or women, it all depends on what books you like. A perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation, birthdays, Christmas, any occasion!

Bibliophiles, don't fret! All of my wallets and purses are made from damaged or discarded books, 90% were being thrown out by libraries. All care is taken to never use valuable or rare books. Have a favorite book that is falling apart? Send it to me and I will turn it into a one of a kind purse or wallet for you!

You may note that there are visible creases on the front cover. This is normal for any paperback that gets folded, but because the cover is essentially laminated in vinyl, the creases are only cosmetic, and the cover will not tear in any way to damage the wallet. More creases may become visible with use, but I feel that this only adds to the charm of using a well loved book as your wallet.

Please note, this wallet will be made to order just for you, so it will be a few days from when you order it until I get it in the mail.
