I was thinking the same thing. I pick up books for less than a pound and make things like this, or sculptures out of them. The most expensive thing is the paint!

Exactly! People complain it's a waste of a book but you can pop down a charity shop (or thrift, I suppose, for Americans) and pick up loads of good quality vintage or new books for next to nothing.
Imagine what books they were from! They couldve been from history books, biographies, auto-biographies, poetry or even legend/mythology books for all we know and they were turned into this beautiful workmanship! Like c'mon
They were mass-produced books printed by the thousands - there are countless others just like them in charity shops across the globe. Using them to create this is a fantastic thing.
To turn book pages into art is not a waste.
