Destroying an antique book seems like a shame, but if the book in question is being turned into such an incredibly cool work of art then maybe it's a worthwhile endeavor after all.
Here's how crafty book lover Alexander Korzer-Robinson creates these wonderfully intricate collages:
Alexander Korzer-Robinson delves into antiquarian books, cutting out everything except the images on each page, leaving them in their proper order. The element of randomness inherent in these pages-deep collages is part of what attracts him to the medium. ”By using pre-existing media as a starting point,” he writes, “certain boundaries are set by the material, which I aim to transform through my process.

Lovely, yes. I dislike the destruction of antique books though. Why not use an obsolete textbook or something?

If the book is in shabby shape, which these seem to be, then I have no issue with it at all. If the book is in good shape, then it should be a no-go.
