An old book with bits cut out

[LastSeasonsMatalan]

Ok it's sort of clever
But really, £75. REALLY??

that's really clever! I have quite a few old books … no idea how you'd do this so neatly though.
£75???!!!!!

If you google 'cut book art' some of them are amazing. My book worm DD was thinking about them for art.

poor book. it's not cool or clever it's book murder and makes me sad.

Don't like the font >

That makes me wince. Poor book quietly minding its own business, waiting to impart its knowledge then one day...snip, chop, hack :(

£75?! Who knew there was yet another way to make one if those god awful 'Home' signs for the gullible people to buy.

Books are for reading, not chopping up.

I've seen amazing Christmas wreaths made from old books but I think that is just annoying. I can't get upset about books being re-used but I can't imagine throwing one away or cutting one up myself either.

You lot make me sick, stop trying to prevent books from being who they want to be, they can't help it if tgey are books but want to be art.

For some books it could only be an improvement.

That is just pure vandalism.

I bet that the only people who buy these are middle-class, well-off panic buyers looking for last minute wedding/birthday presents.
"Oh, he/she likes reading books, that'll do" types.
I'd rather spend £75 on actual books I could read and pass on, ta.

What a wanky object!

But they've trumped it elsewhere. I give you this little beauty from the same website:

goat cabinet

It took me a while to see what it actually was. Bizarre. I hope no-one ever buys me one.

I think the pages are folded, not cut. There may be a small amount of snipping to make, say, the inside of the O but the rest looks folded.

Very clever but not worth £75!

Clearly the website to go to for tasteless, overpriced crap. If I ever have the desire to buy any of this tat, somebody shoot me as I will have lost the plot.

What a waste of a book. How would you get that in the bookcase... (Misses the point)

Pag the goat must be popular as only 2 left. Everyone has different tastes I'm sure there are people out there who love a goat in clothes and a folded or cut book. Each to their own. Not my taste but there you are

Maybe there were only 2 goat cabinets made (2 too many).

Good point BikeRunSki. Perhaps the retailer is fibbing to get shot of them having realised the buyer dropped a clanger with that one. Goats are creepy looking in real life (it's the eyes) so why you'd want a painted one looking at you I don't know.

Oh, that poor book

THAT is not how I was brought up to treat books.

Actually art A level would be a more fitting end for Of Mice and Men, than burning it.

DD1 is not fond of it and it's absolutely covered in her illegible hand writing and highlighter, so the charity shop would throw it straight in recycling.

Why do people put those 'home' signs up? Isn't it obvious that you are in someone's home?
