The order Great Gatsby Book Wallet, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Penguin paperback, Gatsby gift, "We drove on toward death through the cooling twilight"

Presenting the statement orange paperback edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.

Carry your cash* in a classic!

This wallet is made from a brand new paperback book measuring 126mm x 178mm x 16mm (5" x 7" x .6") so it's a good size for your notes and cards. It may be just too big for your pocket, but it's certainly small enough for your handbag.

I've oh-so carefully removed the pages, backed the paper book cover onto boards, wrapped the board edges with slithers of book pages, covered it all with clear film and fixed antiqued brass book corners onto the, erm, corners. *Phew!*

It's all lined with slate grey polka dotted fabric and it has three pockets for your cards and three pockets for your notes. In the crease of the spine there is a neatly lined zipped purse for small change. It all closes with a magnetic clasp in a tab that secures into the back of the book, trimmed with a small button.

“The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

*Cash in photos not included. Nice try ;)

**I'll be building this one especially for you**

Don't just take my word for it - here's feedback kindly left by Naomi Welsh:
"Looks absolutely great and a sensible number of compartments."


Looking for more?!
It seems a shame to waste the book order pages when they look smashing covered in matching fabric:
