Curse you, TwelveSouth! You keep coming up with ways to make me spend my hard-earned money.

This time, it’s a wonderfully unique sleeve for the MacBook line, the BookBook. This US$79.99 sleeve looks like an antique leather-bound book, but it wraps around your Apple-made pride and joy to give it a level of class it hasn’t had since it first shipped from the factory in China.

The attention to detail is, as usual for TwelveSouth, incredible. Not only does it have the distressed leather appearance of an old book, but the leather zipper pulls look like bookmarks. The BookBook comes in red (seen above) and black, and in both 13″ and 15″ sizes.

It’s practical as well as beautiful. The rigid spine provides crush protection to the MacBook, the hardback covers protect the exterior of your laptop, and the unique look provides a level of stealth that could keep your MacBook from being stolen. After all, who wants to pick up something that looks like an old book that you picked up at a library sale?

All you really need to do is ask yourself three things: Do I have a kid bed? Could my kid bed be so much cooler with an iPod touch duvet and pillowcase? Can I afford 349 Swedish kronor (about US $45)?

If you answered ‘Yes! Yes! Uh… yes!’ to this informal product survey, Swedish retailer Ellos has exactly what you need. Questions raised in the TUAW offices like “Is that a touch-based capacitive sleep-enabled UI?” and “I wonder if that surface is oleophobic?” may require firsthand testing.

The bedding set looks to be a pretty faithful iPod touch reproduction, with the exception of the misspelled legend for the Calendar icon. It’s so faithful, in fact, that I wouldn’t be surprised if the company heard from Apple’s Swedish legal representation in short order, with a suggestion that this product be sent to sleep with the fishes.

OK, I grant you, this is no Tauntaun sleeping bag — but if you’re raising a household full of Apple geeks, it might be worth a look.
