Who doesn’t love a great book paired with a great cup of coffee? Martha Hayden loved the clichéd combo together enough to pair them together…literally. A book written about the heath benefits of coffee, Coffee Stains, is almost completely made from coffee.
The book is folded accordion style into 22 sheets that are 8 x 5. Both sides are digitally printed, making it 44 pages, and augmented by different coffee washes. Coffee is worked into every grain as it is manufactured from 100 percent post-consumer paper mixed with coffee content. The coloring of the paper is made from coffee skins from the mountains of El Salvador. The cover is made of paper from mountainous villages in Nepal called Lokta. This paper is tree-free (made from Lotka bushes), acid free and environmentally giving to villages in the Himalayas.
Hayden, a fellow coffee addict, accidentally dipped her brush into the wrong cup but astonishing herself, found the accident to be magnificent. The idea of writing a book about coffee with coffee only seemed fitting. Different contrasts and shades are created just like how we take our coffee: “One shot of milk, please”, “Just dark roast with cream please”. By using different variations of coffee she created what is not a beautiful book of only an edition of 10, selling at $250.
Is there anything better for a coffee lover than to curl up with a cup of Joe and a book this unique? Well, maybe if you have $250 dollars to dish out this would be your next read to take to Starbucks to wow the other coffee aficionadas!

Wow. That book is just gorgeous. I do not currently have the funds to purchase one, but with that sort of handcrafted detail, it is certainly worth the price.
A work of art in addition to being a book, that has got to be the ultimate coffee table book.
Thanks for sharing!
