A;l;t;e;r;e;d book

Definition according to www.dictionary.com:

A form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from its original form into a different form, altering its meaning.

I made this probably a month ago using an old book that was going to be thrown away, along with many others. So not to worry, this book was not destroyed, but it was recycled. I can honestly say that I truly enjoyed myself while making this :) Excuse my super bad quality photos due to my camera.
