I know I'm digging this up from ages ago, but I wanted to ask a quick question. I'm definitely planning on making some of these, just because they're so awesome and I have about five copies of all my favorite books in hard cover. My question is this: is the final product very sturdy? I'm not familiar with working with fabric glue, but I was wondering if the book bag could hold a bit of weight, or if I should go easy on it. I'm sure it'd be easy to fix any accidents that might happen, but I figured I'd ask just to be safe.

That is a lovely handbag. I can't believe a boy can do that.

I just finished making one of my own. It has a swirly orange cover with back binding and handles. And a orange, purple and green floral fabric from the 60's as the lining. I love it sooo much, thank you for this design!

Yes!  Recycle it! What a great use for science fiction art, and one-of-a-kind gifts.  Unfortunately, I will not emulate your feat, but I certainly do admire it.
