ISBN: 1584799099 Binding: Hardcover Edition: Author(s): Lisa Occhipinti Publisher: STC Craft/A Melanie Falick Book Number of Pages: 144
We all love to read and learn from books but The Repurposed Library takes our passion even further presenting us with 33 projects to make--quite literally--out of books For these projects Lisa Occhipinti rescues and repurposes orphaned and outdated books from flea markets and library sales and turns them into new art objects and practical items for the home Her creations range from artfully constructed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 e-reader Projects utilize every imaginable part of a book--from hardback cover to individual pages--and 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 how-to 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" - The New York Times
"Book hoarders rejoice: all those random children's books encyclopedias and unread paperbacks are about to find their purpose Furnished with cheery photographs and numerous hand-drawn diagrams this endearing book will appeal to veteran crafters and literati alike" -BUST magazine
The book is really well-made fittingly The photography by Thayer Allyson Gowdy is wonderful and really shows off the projectsand everything in the background is as tastefully arranged as a Crate & Barrel catalog if you love books as objects The Repurposed Library is a fun collection of project ideas

Hannah has her masters degree in Library Sciences a big student loan and no job She is forced to accept a temporary job cataloging the library of the very brash arrogant insufferably nouveau riche Lord Carling in his old manor house in the country Yet to her consternation she finds that part of the library contains rare books on bondage and slavery by the likes of the Marquis de Sade The old books intrigue her dark inner fantasies When she discovers a hidden passage down to an ancient dungeon she is fascinated Yet when she manages to accidentally lock herself in a cell and is discovered by Carling she finds herself plunged into a darkly erotic relationship of submission and bondage to the handsome multimillionaire The wicked fantasy of being a slave girl in an actual dungeon sets her mind aflame and pulls her free of her dull workaday existence Yet she quickly realizes that Lord Carling is not merely playing As he teases and arouses her as he disciplines and trains her he is conditioning her to becoming an actual slave Fiona is smart enough to see it but will the deep hunger lust and excitement within her let her resist Or will she become a slave girl to a nobleman who isn't exactly noble
