review 1: When I visited the Main Library yesterday, I shopped around and discovered this gem in the stacks: Playing With Books: The Art of Upcycling, Deconstructing, and Reimaging the Book by Jason Thompson. Archivists and other book purists may cringe at the thought of tearing up books to make art, but I believe the artist is showing new ways to turn books that are damaged, discarded, or outdated (such as medical and science books), or otherwise unreadable into a new art form. It is an interesting concept. I enjoy working with paper and embrace the idea of using recycled materials to make art.
review 2: A great book that shows how to create different projects from old and discarded books. I will be trying some of these to see how they come out. I only wish some of t... morehe instructions for the more complicated projects had a little more to them. Also I thought some of the pictures could have been better, they used a shallow depth of field so only one small part of the picture is in focus and you can't see the details on the rest of the picture, so it's hard to see some of the finished projects clearly. But overall a good book that shows you how to have fun with your old books and not just throw them away. less
