One of my duties is to repair books. Some of our "patrons" really like this decorating idea...they cut the pictures (and sometimes recipes or other things)out of the library books. It's "free" for them, but the library ends up spending tax payers' money to replace the books. I work in a public library. One of my duties is to repair books.

Some books need to remain intact because they are valuable. Be sure you aren't ruining a First edition of Audubon birds or something! Check the value at Bookfinder.com or some other place before you dismember an old book. Also vintage magazines have ads or articles that make good frameable art.

I had 21 frames, all the same size, so I bought 2 of the same 10 page storybooks, took the cover and all the pages out and framed them (the second book provided all of the back pages). I then hung them up in order to look like a border, so the story goes all the way across the wall. It brightened up the whole room, and I found the books at the dollar store, so it's inexpensive to change as they get older. I did something similar to decorate my kids’ bedroom.
