I agree with He who must not be named– Where’s the HP?
I was loving these until I saw the Twilight one. It disappointed me a little, but still. Awesome collection and great idea.

How people create awesomeness out of little common sense, a few folds and the right imagination.

Just an FYI to those who forgot…the word “twilight” still exists in the contexts of its definition of an early morning/evening sky–not just the $hitty movie !

hehe… simply marvelous..
For those “outraged” by Twilight, just think, isn’t this art a better use of the material than using it (a twilight book) as a paperweight? ;-)

OHHHHH NOOOO!!!! HOW CAN IT BE…. that book says……”TWILIGHT”!!!!
IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING? I’M WAAAAAY TO HIP to even seeeeee the word “TWILIGHT”!!!
(Grow the *@%# up…. if a book can make you “RAGE” you need to get your priorities it check)
-Awesome work by the way!

amazing work

Though I’m not a fan, I believe Twilight is an easier font to work with. The artist probably couldn’t bear to fold up her/his Harry Potter books, since they are more valuable.

will all the people complaining about how twilight is a time of day shut up? you can obviously tell that they are talking about the book because it is in the same font as all of the books. god some people are so dumb. =_______=

Amazing creativity, the time and skill involved with creating these are brilliantly demonstrated.
And really, does it matter what name is created within the pages of a book. Literary taste isnt whats on show here people!!

you should name the books, surely thats half the artistic point?
I am guessing the Faith one is the Bible. and Twilight is the book of the same name but what about the others?

the “read” one is pointless; SINCE YOU ARE DESTROYING ALL THE BOOKS!
aaargh! nice and whatever it may be, but books are my life, dont go about wasting them!! whatever happened to “aww the poor trees, how will they survive”!!!!!
still kinda cool i have to admit….
*sigh*..
