The whole time I was looking at this I was just thinking how Pottery it seemed, and if the stones were red perhaps, it would do nicely as the Philosophers Stone. Not that there were piles of them.. but you get my thinking.

DIY Vintage-Style Book Dust Covers (by designsponge)

Looking at this picture, can you tell which of these books are actually hardbound? I’m not super fussy over the books on my shelves, but I will admit that sometimes a really garish or unattractive book spine will jump out from the bunch and irritate me every time I walk by. I don’t think I would ever take the leap to cover all of my books, but I really like the idea of using these nifty deceptive hardbound dustcovers by Alex Cobbe to gussy up the real eyesores in my collection.
