A Book Beau Appreciation Post.

Book Beau Saves.

(And I will save you some cash to get one… or two. Keep reading, yo.)

Book Beau saves paperbacks, hardbacks, e-readers–YOU NAME IT. Book Beau SAVES. THEM. ALL.

In case you’re unfamiliar with Book Beau, it’s a brand that is devoted to change the game where book lovers are concerned.

Primarily known for their protective book sleeves, Book Beau creates several products to help make your reading, traveling, and even your sleeping/lounging experience BETTER.

Livin’ the Book Beau life on-the-go like…

In this post, I’ll explain the why and the how behind my love for this brand, as well as share a discount code you can use to save 15% on ALL future orders!

First, let’s cover what I think is essential for all book lovers: the BOOK BEAU BOOK SLEEVES.

Stacks on stacks.

Because I’m going to refer to sizes by their product name, I’ll drop the reference chart below:

So the ones I typically use the most are the mini, the indie, and the Jumbeau (which have a zippered closure). (Though I own many of each–you never know when you’ll need one!)

The Book Book Jumbeau Sleeve

Big is beautiful.

Jumbeaus are large enough to fit my oversized hardcovers (lookin’ at you, Sarah J. Maas):

Also pictured: A Book Beau Hand Bag (small zippered pouch) which is perfect to throw in your purse and holds an array of things (including my Kindle Oasis)!

I use mine for more than just books; Jumbeaus can fit small laptops, oversized tablets, and more!

The Book Beau Indie Sleeve

One of my fave designs 🙂

For me, this is the size I use most. This is a perfect fit for normal/trade paperbacks, and smaller hardcovers:

They’re perfect in every way.

The indie are my go-to when packing books for travel (whether in my carry-on, or in my checked luggage), and for book signings (when I need to store books in totes during the signing session).

And notice that there is a small hardcover, a thick paperback (Outlander), a normal trade paperback, and a thin manuscript all pictured to show how versatile the Indie Book Beaus are!

And last but not least, my third most-used BB sleeve:

The Book Beau Mini Sleeve

There’s a Mass Market book in there!

This baby is small, but mighty AF.

Perfect for a mass market, most Kindle e-readers, and iPad Mini; this little sleeve serves a big purpose:

I’ve also used the mini sleeve for small notebooks, planners, and misc small paper goods that I needed to store in my bag.

Remember how I said Book Beau is great not just for my normal on-the-go? They also make some wonderful products for long-haul jetsetting, and casual at-home lounging and reading, too!

Let me introduce you to the BOOK BEAU TRAVELER and the BOOK BEAU BOOK BEAN!

The Book Beau Traveler

The regular BB Traveler is similar to the BB Hand Bags, but leveled up. Featuring not one, but TWO zippered compartments, it’s perfect for throwing in your carry-on or travel bag. I use mine to store meds, snacks, headphones, and charging cables. They’re great for decluttering your everyday bag, too.

You can also add a personal touch by adding enamel pins, too! 🙂

The Book Beau Book Bean

I use my Book Beau Book Bean EVERY DAY AND NIGHT.

In my opinion, after the book sleeves, this is the most clutch item that Book Beau offers. Perfect for resting your current read in your lap, for getting comfy during an all-night reading sesh in bed, and absolutely the one thing I will always travel with.

Normally available in different colors and patterns, the Book Bean is a hot item in the BB shop, and typically sell out within hours of being restocked.
Plane, train, automobile…(And peep the Jumbeau in the background!)

I have a Book Bean for my couch, my bed, my reading chair, and for my travels. And it’s easier than ever to clip it to my bag with the use of their nifty BB Bean Strap:

Available via their website!

There’s something for everyone at Book Beau.

From book sleeves, travel pouches, book bean pillows, enamel pin banners, and coffee (yes, coffee), Book Beau has an array of items that you can call your own.

Oh, and by they way: FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVE SIDE BY CUSTOMIZING YOUR BOOK BEAU SLEEVES/PRODUCTS AT HOME!

I’ve customized several BB Book Sleeves using enamel pins, permanent markers, and iron-on patches:

Hi I’m Steph, Ideally Inspired site owner, blogger, and a Bilingual Book Babe who thrives on burning the candle on both ends. 😉 In addition to running Ideally Inspired Reviews, I’m helping to plan and coordinate some amazing book conventions/events: ApollyCon, KissCon Weekend Affair, and Readers on the River.

When I’m not reading and running events I’m either traveling, enjoying foodie adventures with friends, taking in a D.C. sports game (#AllCaps and #LetsGoNats), and/or binging a true crime documentary.
