Sue Blackwell turns books into sculpted memories
The artist' website calls it a book-cut sculpture, an ephemeral and highly personal way to convey a message; the artist compares it with "receiving a marked-up copy of a book from a friend. It's like turning books into memories".

Thomas Allen gives an extra cutting-edge to pulp fiction
The action of various pulp novels, under the creative touch of Thomas Allen, literally jumps from the gaudy covers into reality. The carved figurines of villains and damsels in distress battle each other and pose dramatically in three dimensions. You be the judge if it enhances the contents within.
This might leave you cold if you don't care much for vintage paperbacks, or might leave you all hot & bothered, if you are a collector and can't stand the sight of perfectly good collectibles being destroyed for the sake of art. In any case, enjoy a clip of a dramatic chipmunk (oh no, I finally linked to it, didn't I?), and lets move on to the actual examples of the modern book-binding art.
