Absolutely fascinating stuff, right?

That old book smell...
For many years, I have wondered why I love old books so much.
This might be part of the reason.
Absolutely fascinating stuff, right?

Edinburgh's mysterious book sculptures
This week, a friend of mine shared a link to something that I heard a little bit about a while ago.
Throughout this year, 2011, the libraries and museums around Edinburgh, Scotland, have had beautiful, intricate book sculptures appear anonymously on their shelves. Each book contains a message about the importance of books and libraries and ties specifically to the location at which it was placed.
In total there have been 7 sculptures donated and they all have a link to Ian Rankin.
These are my two favourites.
