I don't usually approve of making books unreadable but I love this artist's work. Never mind, I couldn't make the link work. I will try again when i figure it out.

Let's try [url=www.flickr.com/photos/lizbits/sets/72157603338469464/]this[/url]
Nope.
Anyone know if it is because I am trying to link to flickr?

You had an extra http// in there. Still kinda slow coming up. It is rather heavily photo-laden.

Great Zed! How many priceless irreplaceble manuscripts have been worked into this? (joking). Lovely obsession. ;~)

Now, Avy, there comes a time in every book's life when the content is of no use any longer. (Though I do sympathize: I once had to throw away some books that had gotten mildewed, and I felt like a traitor.)
Zed, this is one of those things that makes me think: how did anyone DO that?? Or think to do that?

Zed, this is one of those things that makes me think: how did anyone DO that?? Or think to do that? I suppose it starts with origami and silhouet clippings. Then one day you see an old telephone guide and all hells break loose. Bookart is a widely practised form of art, hobby, artisanat. +- 111.000 results. brace yourself!

I guess it's the best burial you can give a book. I am a pack rat where it comes to books. I live in a largely empty house filled with books.

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.
