    Oh wow! Now that is cool! And to think I only read books. Man, I must think outside the box more! First shelving and furniture, and now this!

    Wow – these are about the coolest, artiest things I’ve ever seen done with books. Jeezum Crow, as they used to say. I wonder how much it would be to try to buy one? Really mindblowing.

    Thanks for posting this link — amazing work there! I’ve seen some altered book art, but nothing this good.
