Folded corners upset me. When I see one of my own start to bend a page I go ballistic.

Highlighted text has me seeing red. I could never buy used textbooks for that reason.

Recently, I spent hours erasing pencil marks from a library book I borrowed. I could not possibly read and comprehend the text with all the underlining and notations!!

I love that this zen garden was carved from a Chinese text with the Chinese characters in the background.



If it is cutting a book for art versus tossing said book, I'd rather carve it up and keep it in circulation.
