The man who invented DuraBooks - poly-proplyne page-turners that are tear-resistant, immune to ultraviolet light, and dishwasher-safe - is at it again. Charles Melcher's news DuraBook - Cradle to Cradle is all of the above, plus it's "upcyclable," or able to be broken down and remade into books that are just as sturdy as the original. With a patent pending, Melcher imagines titles in every genre from erotica to cookbooks and kids' pop-ips. Seems there's no sticky situation they can;'t handle.
Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, by William McDonough and Michael Braungart (North Poin Press, $25).
