    It's awesome work, take a long time and I can see paying high price for them. What he put in to his art is priceless.

    Fantastic work.

    I think it's great. The books are re used and appreciated rather than thrown in the garbage.

    they are beautiful...the only sad thing...is making them so high priced....i would love to have one even if i had to give it back after a week...just to see into all the details :) but ill have to wait to see them in a museum...behind glass.....prolly have to pay for that too....this is why such amazing artists make me so sad...
