What's holy?

Throwing out books is impossible to me. I save them all, even the sadest, cheapest little paperback I'm unable to put in the thrash. Ok, I admit, I'm not very good with throwing things away at all, I usually try to give them away or stuff them in the basement, who knows when they might come in handy? But with books it's different, books are, no matter the content, a bit holy to me. I was using old books as a part of an illustration project a few years ago and I remember that I needed to close my eyes while tearing them apart.
Anyway, if you create things that are as beautiful as this screen out of the books, you are totally forgiven. What a wonderful way to end a book life!

The screen is handmade from old books by designer By Samantha Parsons and Studio Sam.

this is gorgeous. just gorgeous. I have the same problem with books. I always think that I'll read them.
