I would be interested to know why he doesn't carve up an 'art' book. It seems that it would at least be more appropriate.<BR/><BR/>I would assume, of course, that he doesn't carve up art books because he would be destroying someone's hard work, or at least a representation of it.<BR/><BR/>My opinion, however, is that if you won't do this to art books, or picture books, and only to the written word, aren't you still destroying someone's life work?<BR/><BR/>I would much rather read a book to enjoy it than look at some defenseless book that was mutilated.<BR/><BR/>As I said - it's a sad state of affairs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
