ExLibrisAnonymous.com — Quelle drôle
A refreshingly simple concept.
Jasmine Deatherage had always collected books with covers she liked, putting them in boxes and sticking them in the closet.
On her website she writes, "Some time in the spring of 2002... it occurred to me that I could make journals out of my beautiful books and therefore they would become useful and 'new' again."
Long story short: she and her husband Jacob used all their money to build a bindery in their house and then started to make journals and sell them.
They have become quite successful, so much so that one of their journals was featured in this past Sunday's New York Times.
What I like: the simplicity of their business model.
"Every journal on this site is $11 and shipping is free in the U.S.A."

Reads like Yoda, that I AM construction.
I'll leave it alone.
