Online Bookshop Christmas Orders
We have added new stationery to our Rebound online bookshop including new 2010 Rebound Diaries, Pocket Books, Journals, Sketch Books and Photo Albums. If you are wanting to place an order in time for Christmas, best to do so by Friday 18th December to allow time for your order to arrive with you ahead of the holiday break.

2009 in a nutshell
It has been a whirlwind of a year for us and when we look back on it, it’s no wonder we’ve been so busy! We relaunched our Pocket Books, introduced our newest invention Record Cards, and travelled interstate to markets in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney. We also were lucky enough to add some fabulous stores to our list of stockists across the country and expanded our regular Melbourne market stalls to include Sundays at Rose St, along with our regular Saturday stall at Rose St and Sundays at the Arts Centre.

Rebound Pocket Books
We have just added our neat little Pocket Books to the Rebound online bookshop. A favourite thing of ours to make and a popular item at our weekly market stalls, our pocket books are made from cut down covers of discarded library books and each has a hand cut shape on the cover with an inset picture from a book. The blank paper inside the pocket books is made from 100% recycled tree free denim paper. Each book measures 10.5cm x 9.5cm and sells for $10. Bargain, and even more so with 20% off! They are super cute and fit perfectly into your pocket. Have a peek by clicking the Pocket Book link at www.reboundbooks.net.

We’ve created a profile page for Rebound so for those of you who are Facebook folk, head along to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rebound-Books/50682856484 and become a Rebound fan. We sometimes wonder what happens to our creations out in the big world and we’d be most chuffed to see your Rebound Book in action. Feel free to upload a photo to our Wall while you’re there.

New stock in the Bookshop
We had a short but relaxing break over the New Year and managed to get out of town for a little while. It was supposed to be a holiday away from work but we just couldn’t help ourselves and came home with a boot full of books! We found some amazing old books in need of some Rebound love, so have a browse through our online bookshop in the Journals, Sketchbooks and Photo Albums sections.

New Invention
It’s rare that we don’t have an idea or two bubbling away in the Rebound workshop. Some of them you’ve witnessed (Little Golden Book diaries, bookmarks made from spines), some of them need more time, and then there’s this one we’re proud to say is almost ready to be unveiled. We think it will take another month until we’re ready to show you, but rest assured as a trusty Rebounder, you’ll be the first to know.

New stockist in NSW
The lovely and talented folk at the University of NSW in Sydney are now stocking our Rebound Books. We’re happy to hear if there’s a store you think we should be stocked in, just drop us a line.

New Website
Speaking of online, we’ve been rather busy building a brand new website for Rebound, with the help of some wonderful friends. We have a new and user-friendly Bookshop where you can browse our books in categories of Journals, Sketchbooks, Photo Albums, 2009 Diaries as well as our Bookmarks. There is a huge selection of books in each category and there will be regular additions of new goodies every week. We’ve also included a Book of the Week section where we show off our current favourite! The website also has information including a full list of our stockists around the country, details of our regular and special one-off Market Stalls and a News section we hope to update regularly. As the website is brand spankin’ new and you’re the first to know about it, we’d love it if you could give us any feedback or let us know if something is not working for you.

Regular Melbourne Weekend Markets
As always, you can find us every Saturday at the Rose St Artists Market in Fitzroy.
Due to a marathon this Sunday 12th October, we will not have our regular stall at the Arts Centre Market at Southbank, however next week we will return to our weekly Sunday stall, which is located on St Kilda Road.

New stockists in NSW & WA
The following adorable folks have added Rebound Books to their stores; Newspaper Taxi in Newtown (NSW), Lost My Way in Waverley (NSW) and the Fremantle Arts Centre Shop (WA). If you’re a local, pay them a visit and have a peek at their unique selection of Rebound journals. Oh, and tell them we say hi!

Golden Book Diaries (2009)
We know you’re excited and they’re nearly ready! Late last year we made some fabulous diaries and used Little Golden Books as the covers. All your favourites were there such as The Poky Little Puppy, Scuffy the Tugboat and The Tawny Scrawny Lion and they’ll all be back again. The 2009 diaries will be ready for purchase in October (both online and from the markets) but nobody panic, as you’re on our mailing list you’ll be among the first to know … watch this space.
