Book spine bookmarks, a great way to save old books that have seen better days! (via Green Paper: Now the Clean Up Begins…)

I thought we’d already added this idea to the Unconsumption gallery of creative new uses for old (beyond repair) books; turns out, we haven’t  … until now!
If you make something like this from book covers with front and/or back panels in good shape, what would you make from the cover panels? (If I needed a headboard, I’d consider making something like this!) 
Caveat: here.
