Me, too, to all the above. Part of my library is a small collection of old-to-very-old natural history books, and whenever I see one of their plates for sale somewhere, I think first, "How could they do that to a beautiful old book?" and, second, "Although it's tragic, my intact copy is now that much more scarce."

did anyone ever make Reader's Digest angels and choir when they were kids? Where you fold the top of each page into the spine and then spray paint it.
I have also seen a lamp base made by drilling through a pile of books to run a pipe and wire through. Several titles looked interesting and it did feel like litericide.

I'll bet that hurt. It was bad enough with books.

[squawk!] Do they have ANY idea of the trouble it'll be to DUST that thing???
[squawk again!] From Zed's link; emphasis added: Shauna Smith Duty is a freelance writer with a penache for writing... I had hoped this might be a deliberate wordplay, but I think not, given that this was also in the article: Have a bunch of old books laying around that you're not interested in reading?

A penache from writing would have been a good one.
