Caitlin Phillips book purses on NPR tonight

The Fellowship of the Ring Paperback WalletThe Fellowship of the Ring Paperback Wallet

The Fellowship of the Ring Paperback Wallet

This wallet is made from a gorgeous vintage copy of JRR Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring," from his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Of every paperback edition ever printed, this is my favorite, because all three covers put together form a complete picture, and it's also the edition I grew up reading.

The front and back covers have been covered in a matte water-resistant vinyl, and lined with the map from the front of the book, also protected by vinyl. The 2 outer card pockets are sewn on from a shiny clear vinyl. The edges are finished with black bias tape, and the wallet is held closed by a black elastic strap.

This paperback wallet measures 7" long by 4.25" wide when unfolded, and fits American currency perfectly. All standard business cards and credit cards will fit in the card pockets. This wallet is unisex, great for men or women, it all depends on what books you like.
