Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an amazingly good product. Nice, thick, real leather that feels sturdy and durable. It is distressed, so it looks like an antiquarian book, which is neat. I can't imagine a more nifty case for your mac.
Two notes for potential buyers. First, while the bookbook is made to look like a book, it is more like a big old encyclopedia than a conventionally sized book. I love the look of the thing, but it will take a tall shelf to store it like a book. It does have a "stealth" aspect to it because it looks like a book rather than a computer case, but it looks so good that book thieves might take it!
Second, some people might live to regret that it doesn't have a handle. That isn't an issue for me and it would defeat the whole idea of the bookbook, but if you walk long distances with your computer, be sure that you are up for carrying it like a book rather than in a conventional briefcase or backpack.
I bought the 15" model. While it is made specifically for the MacBook Pro, I have an older Powerbook G4. I wrote the company and asked if my computer would fit, and they replied (essentially) "kind of." But they added that because of their 30-day no questions asked guarantee, it wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't happy with the fit. So I took a small chance, and as it turns out it fits perfectly. No bulges or fit issues of any kind. It really is beautiful.
I like it so much that I am buying one for my ipad (although you also might want to consider a dodocase for your ipad).

Twelve South BookBook, 13-Inch Distressed Black, Hardback Leather Case for 13-Inch MacBook/MacBook ProFrom the Manufacturer
A Novel Way to Cover Your MacBook
BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you.
Hardback Cover Softens the Blows.
Protecting your MacBook is a top priority and it's job one for BookBook. Slip your Mac inside the velvety soft, padded interior. Zip it closed and your baby is nestled between two tough, rigid leather hardback covers for a solid level of impact absorbing protection. The rigid spine serves as crush protection for an additional line of defense. BookBook creates a hardback book structure that safeguards your MacBook like few other cases can. Far better than any floppy neoprene bag ever will. End of story.
The Real Story. No Two Are Alike.
Each BookBook is brought to life with hand craftsmanship and distressing, ensuring no two are exactly alike. From dual zippers with leather pulls, that at first glance look like bookmarks, to the sturdy reinforced hardback covers, BookBook is a vintage work of art built to protect modern day Macs. The classic case was designed to be used two ways. Use it as a traditional sleeve or use the elastic corner clips to hold your MacBook in place while you work with it in BookBook. Dual zippers allow you to charge your MacBook while it safely stays inside BookBook. This case is designed with good looks and smart functionality, cover to cover.
BookBook is the Perfect Disguise.
One of the neatest features of BookBook is the stealthy security it delivers. No one will see your MacBook when it's tucked inside BookBook, even when it's right under their nose. Sitting on a coffee table, dorm room or desk, BookBook looks like a vintage piece of literature, not an expensive laptop. It's a great disguise and a simple way to reduce the risk of your MacBook getting stolen.
