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?

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!
If I took out the bookshelves and books my house would double
in size, but then, I'd have lost many of my friends.
