No books were harmed in the making of these crafts. Well, at least no viable books. I only use books that have been loved until they were falling apart, discarded, and headed for the landfill. Any smudges, creases, or dog-ears are signs that these books have had happy lives.
You can enjoy these unique up cycled pieces of the past, safe in the knowledge that they were ethically and responsibly harvested by a bibliophile who just wanted to give them new life.
