I am watching Four Weddings and I want to cry! One of the brides made flowers out of book pages and the other brides are GUSHING over them. If I were there, I'd scream, "Murderer!" and throw myself on them.

Well... in all fairness... some books (literally) aren't worth the paper they are printed on...

I've seen that show and usually like it, but didn't catch that episode. It is a shame to tear up books and flowers made of book pages doesn't sound very decorative.

Um... i was the Dictionary Fairy for Hallowe'en last year and totally destroyed a circa 1985 dictionary for the wings, wand, flower accessories, etc. I felt bad but I bought it at a thrift store and now have hundreds of pages to use for other crafts without destroying another book.

I also have a paperback version of "Middlemmarch" that fell apart on its own that I use for crafting as well.

After seeing so many books not get sold at the Friends of the Library book sale and then carted off to the recycler, I don't have a problem with books being used for crafts. Some books just outlive their 'readingness'.

I'm okay with books that fell apart getting used. In an ideal world, books would get passed around to hospitals and such until they fall apart.

Huge book lover, but I agree with winds and other others. I make soap, and I've decided to start wrapping my soaps in pages from books I get from the free bin at 2nd and charles, etc.

I've got another book of fairy tales I rescued from a pile of junk in front of a foreclosed house. It's falling apart. I'm going to frame some of the illustrations and use the un-illustrated pages for wrapping soap.

It used to really bug me too, but we cant' keep all books.
