Mark Zuckerberg "Facebook" Portrait

What inspired me?
I was in the States last month for the EG Conference (http://www.the-eg.com) and wanted to do a portrait of an iconic American...I decided on Mark Zuckerberg and I thought I'd use BOOKS for his portrait, to play around with the words, 'face book'! LOL. was that PUNNY or what?!

ps: I used 36 Game of Thrones books because they were the thickest I could find. And by slicing off just the sides, the books can still be read...no words were cut off, I made sure of that. I am also giving them away to friends, so each book that is given away is personalised and unique.
