1. WHAT KNOT: Looking like a page torn from an old diary, these origami paper "fortune cookies" actually contain different quotes from famous books ($13.95 for 12) at findgift.com.

2. LIKE YOUR FAVORITE BOOK: Dab on a little paperback cologne from Demeter Fragrance Library. It's sweet and a little musty, much like your favorite old book ($20 for a 1-ounce spray) at demeterfragrance.com.

3. READ AND CARRY: Make a literary fashion statement with these book purses, made from recycled covers of vintage books. "Pride and Prejudice" is a favorite, but other designs include "Dracula" and "Little Women" ($165) at rebound-designs.com.

4. REPURPOSE OLD BOOKS: Made from recycled paper, Sayitwithbookcovers lets you cover old books with a message. The covered books stack together to form quotes (there are more than 100 to choose from). Each kit includes five book covers: two blank and three forming the quote. Available in either cream or brown ($20) at Twigs & Moss, 7715 Clayton Road.

5. RENEW YOUR BOOKS: These earrings, from Overdue Industries, are punched directly from a vintage, decorative book cover such as Reader's Digest ($18) at Trova, 1900 Park Avenue in Lafayette Square.

6. LITERARY STYLE: Pay homage to your favorite classic with tees from Out of Print. We loved the colorful Mikey Burton design of "The Great Gatsby" ($25) at Pudd'nhead Books, 8157 Big Bend Boulevard, Webster Groves.
