You know, I actually erased a paragraph I was going to put up...
The idea of carving into books horrifies me as a bibliophile, and in a knee-jerk nearly-religious way. I don't know if any sects of Christianity had this, but in both of the synagogues I went to, books (especially holy books, obviously) were taught to be something to be revered and respected, even paperbacks. The written word is important. I'm okay folding the corner of a page down on a paperback novel now, but hard-bound books? No way. Can't get over it.
When I stare at these images and try to imagine how they were done, I get a vision of me standing over them with a scalpel and it makes me physically ill.
