Jeremy May, Literary Jewels
I think this is one of the coolest ideas. May takes books, cuts our pages, laminates them together and creates jewelry. The bracelet is made out of Sherlock Holmes and is still for sale, which makes me drool just a bit. Go check it out!
DIY Mini Book Necklaces with Charms. I have posted 3 or 4 mini book jewelry tutorials and I keep saying, “Oh, this is the best one.” But this is my favorite. Clear instructions, love the grommet closures tied with leather, love the keyhole. For the tutorial and other ideas go to Art by Wendy here. I got a GC to Michaels and will get a crop-a-dile using coupons of course.

DIY Anthropologie Inspired Library Stack Necklace (inspiration here). I posted an Anthro Inspired Book Stack necklace here, but this tutorial from malmow looks much more like the inspiration piece. She used a headpin, old book pages or recycled paper, a necklace chain, and small leather strips. Tutorial at Craftster here.
