Playing with Books : The Art of Upcycling, Deconstructing, and Reimagining the Book - Thryft

Transform books into unique art.

Playing with Books could be a great read for anyone interested in recycling and upcycling old books. The book provides a wide range of inspiring techniques and step-by-step projects that turn books and their parts into unique, beautiful objects and accessories. Additionally, the gallery showcases truly phenomenal examples of creations that transform books into art, making it an excellent addition to any book-loving artist or art-loving book collector's collection.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
