The Thousands

It was John Dalton, the world’s most famous colourblind chemist, who once said: "atoms cannot be created or destroyed."

I say: let’s not let nuclear fission ruin our party, let’s reinvent some molecules. It happens every day – carrot peel becomes compost, old Coke cans become new Coke cans, grandma’s clothes become my clothes… and so the Atomic Theory rolls on. But what sort of reincarnation can our books expect? Enter Rebound Books.**Salvaging classic novels and quirky non-fictions that have dodged a destiny as landfill, Rebound recycle their insides to make blank paper which is then replaced between original hard-covers. The result is a collection of unique journals, sketchbooks, photo albums, pocket books and diaries, which look old, but really are just a shell of their former selves (and shelves). Made with 100% recycled materials and a generous amount of elbow grease, this is molecular conversion at its finest.
