In a comment to one of my blog posts, Judith mentioned that she read the Live Journal handmade books community. I hopped over there to take a look, and among other things found this wonderful book made from pennies with a double needle coptic binding from Kate Black. Here’s her post with more about making her penny book. (Kate also sells buttons and mirrors that say Reading is Sexy.)
