1001 uses for a book #699 - object d'art

I am running our of words to describe this new trend in altered books as art. Though I will admit artist Brian Dettmer has made something very pretty here. Haydee Rovirosa Gallery has many more images and links to news articles. I suppose it was inevitable - what did the man say at the Colorado Seminar? All books secretly want to be E-books ... i am paraphrasing. So after the contents get digitized we know are hip deep in potential sources of art. Snip Snip.
