It is a great project but I would never dare do that to a book : (

wonderful idea! great use of unwanted books. my local thrift by-the-pound warehouse has endless supply of unwanted books one step away from the landfill...

Find a book that is ruined already if you don't want to mess up a book. There are lots of books out there that are not worth saving but on the other hand do you want anyone to see you apparently liking rotten books? I would find some book at a thrifts shop or yard sale that is not collector quality. Maybe something that looks a bit egg head. :D
This is a fun idea to do!
