10 Cool Things for People who Read (Real) Books

eReaders, Kindles, iPads--and even before their time--audio books, are all great ways to enjoy your favorite forms of prose. With these gadgets comes a host of pretty awesome accessories. However, let us not forget about good old-fashioned books. You know, paper topped with tiny type and bound in a decorative cover? Those are still in vogue, right? For people who continue to hold actual books dear to their hearts, here's a list of products to make the traditional reading experience that much more enjoyable.
Bedside Cabinet
The Bedside Cabinet beats a table any day. Not only does it attach securely to the wall next to your bed, providing a 'home' for necessities, but its roof serves as a bookmark for your latest read.  


Falling Books Bookend
Your beloved collection deserves to be kept in tiptop shape. This funky bookend features a man that's doing his very best to ensure that books remain tidy and upright.


The Book Belt
Traveling about with more than one good novel? This Book Belt kicks it old school by bundling your books together in classic style.


Personal Library Kit
True bibliophiles want to share their collection with friends, but they also want their books back. This personal library kit holds frequently delinquent borrowers accountable.


Book 'Marks'
Toss your old bookmarks and let a few real Marks, like Wahlburg, Zukerberg, Marx, Twain, Anthony and Hamil, hold your place. Luckily, they come in a complete set of six, so you don't have to choose between classic or new school Marks.


Bookseat
Why waste space when you can combine two crucial pieces of book reading furniture into one? The Bookseat offers a cozy place to get your read on and to store your favorite editions.


Conceal Bookshelf
You can enjoy the library look without all the clutter. This floating bookshelf becomes invisible with the addition of several books, leaving your space clean and organic in feeling.


Penguin Luggage Tags
Take your love for reading on the road with these luggage tags from book publisher, Penguin. The famous covers of a few great classics find a home on your bags, making sure they never go unidentified.


Book Rest Lamp
Another double duty product that's just perfect for readers, this Book Rest Lamp emits a soft and ideal reading light. It also doubles as a charming book rest, so after lights out, you won't lose your page.



Ideal Bookshelf
Sometimes just having books displayed on a shelf isn't enough to express your intense love of the written word. Jane Mount will paint your collection, or perhaps your ideal collection, so you can hang it in another space and still feel close to your best hardcovers and paperbacks.
