[Publib] Abused books as art

[Dusty Gres]

I've seen several of these dumped in my Bookdrop.....but the patron always
claimed that "it was that way when I checked it out."

This link is not about running libraries, but it is about books.

You may have seen Barer's art before.

Last year she won a PhotoLucida award for her series.

The artist, Cara Barer, says this series is "a lament for the passing of
eras when books were considered valuable, and a path to knowledge."

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable,
to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and
lived well. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
