That is for real.

I LOVE to read and I think these are beautiful works of art. Do you know how many books get thrown out every year? That bookstores instead of mailing the books back, rip the covers off and mail those back to save on postage? Guess where the rest of the book ends up. In the dumpster. There are tons upon tons of books that no one buys or old books that you can no longer read or the pages have started to decay. Instead of throwing out and wasting these books, art can be created and the books can provide enjoyment through other means.

Books will soon be a thing of the past, with Kindle becoming the norm. I will never give up a physical book, but the trends I see around me don’t support a very literary future. At least these pieces of art can remind the younger generations that books exist and will always be there, allowing their imaginations to grow, instead of technology doing all of the thinking for them.

So congrats to all the wonderful artists who made these pieces of art. I think it is beautiful!

The books have not gone to waste. They were enjoyed as a book then recycled to make art. Would you rather they end up in the trash just to add to our landfills? Or even burned to add more to our already way too polluted air? Books are so cheap nowadays if you know where to look. You should see what thrift shops do with books they cant sell.

While I feel sad at books being destroyed at the same time I’m thinking that it’s not like there are no other copies of Alice in Wonderland anywhere, perhaps some just as loved or more valuable. I’m sure these books are not the only ones of their kind in existence so I can live with it, especially when they’re made into something beautiful.

I love to read…and I love these photo’s - whether they are real or not or wrong or right….it does not matter…those of us that have boxes and boxes and shelves and shelves of books can understand the concept. I’d buy two so I can do the art. LOL!
