They are so lovely.
I am always mesmerized by artists who are making art from books. It’s a type of horror based fascination, some type of jealousy too for I know I would never have the heart to take ink or a knife to a book, no matter how worthless.

I think I’d be nervous about attacking books too although some books are more common than others. Lewis Carroll’s in particular have been published in hundreds of different editions so it seems more allowable there.
