Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

They do look a good idea. It's a pity they don't put another section in for other items like wallets and other bulky stuff.
The price is £14.95 on Amazon UK, which doesn't seem too bad at all to me. It would make a great gift for a bookworm.

I thought it was a bit odd there was no price on the website, but that's not a bad one. I think it would make a brilliant gift for a bookworm. I came to the url via Twitter where someone was saying the designer had appeared on Dragon's Den. I would use this when travelling long haul on book tours etc and would have it to hand on the train with my ticket and immediate needs. I would use it exactly as the designer states in her opening paragraph:
The idea was born when I was commuting to work on the train. Whilst travelling I passed the time by reading books, however when changing at stations it was a struggle to get my book in and out of my handbag without leaving my valuables exposed and vulnerable to loss. I wanted something that would allow me to carry my book and travelcard close to hand as well as maintain some privacy to my reading. Having shopped around and found nothing like this available, I got to work creating a product that would meet my needs and those of many fellow book readers. Bagabook was born.
