Books have been gradually replaced by tablets, smartphones, e-readers and the like. But just because your backpack is now filled with gadgets instead of paperbacks doesn’t mean you still can’t carry a book to school. That’s exactly what you’ll get with this fun backpack, shaped like an oversize hardcover book.
It’s bigger than most actual books too – big enough to hold a 15″ MacBook and accessories. Or if you’re feeling really meta, you can fill it with actual books. You also don’t have to worry about the pages on this book getting bent or torn – since it’s made from sturdy polyurethane with a polyester lining. Didn’t somebody say “paper is dead” anyhow?
The main compartment measures 12″(w) x 16″(h) x 3″(d), while the laptop pocket is 10-1/4″ (w) x 13-1/2″(h) x 1″(d), and there are compartments for pens and other small items. Maybe you should keep a bookmark in there, just so you don’t lose your place.
ThinkGeek has the Olde Book Backpack for $59.99. If you’d rather have a messenger style book, they offer that too.
