Hello!
I started making handbags out of books (as you do) in 2013 and have been amazed and delighted by the way they have captured people's imaginations.
The books I use are often secondhand and not valuable or precious books. The fabric I use for lining my bags is from Buckingham's 'The Nimble Thimble' where they no longer see matching fabric to book covers as a novelty.
I'm aided and abetted by William who books events, cuts templates and tries (in vain) to keep me out of the fabric shop.
Right-io, I'm off to make a handbag out of a book :)
