I guess I just don't necessarily see it as destroying a book as much as using it in a new way. The book is the essence of the art and it wouldn't be complete without it. But I can certainly see how it can be upsetting. I promise I won't give you one for a present. I actually plan to use them as a kind of journal anyway, so no one will have to see them.

They make me absolutely crazy. I have no problem "disposing" of books that nobody wants anymore, but for some reason seeing them cut up, made into lamps, used as canvas just really upsets me. I have no idea why, I can see that the altered books are beautiful and artistic, but it really really bothers me. Good luck with it, but don't give me one as a gift, ok? I’ve seen these.
