Artful Books

Isaac Salazar


After talking about the artful way I have seen books used, I wanted to show you.  Some of these ideas are easy to replicate should you care to.  It's a great way to use those collections or dusk collectors in a unique and creative way.  Have an empty corner you don't know what to do with?
I'm not talking about arranging books in a clever way on a shelf.  No need to be a bibliophile either.  You can grab an assortment of books at garage sales, flea markets, etc. to create your own installation ~

Although, I do want to add that what is between the covers can be just as useful ~
