Beauty and the Book (Vintage Book Bundles and Book Decor)

There is something so enchanting about old vintage books.
It seems with all the modern advances of computerized books, the day may be coming when all paper books may become a thing of the past. But how I love these vintage book bundles with a past.

I found this amazing photo of two books that create one art piece on the spine when placed together, unfortunately I have no idea where it originated from; but I did find a wonderful tutorial on how to make your own book-spine artwork using dollar store books made by Sarah from Hope in Every Season.
