Even though we love reading and understand that books are a knowledgeable treasure chest, there comes a time when an old, damaged or musty book may have outlived its usefulness. While most book lovers might squirm on the thought of destroying a hardcover tome, most people would immediately jump to the conclusion of selling books, tearing them up, and so on. The goal is to earn some cash or get rid of old, unusable books.
However, almost always, there is an alternative to things we do in life. Similarly, there are plenty of fun things that can still be done with a damaged book. Instead of getting bitter and throwing away the books that likely cost a small fortune to purchase, you can even score with creative, unique book projects that will make the bookstores wish they had never turned those books down (if they get a chance to see them again).
Rather than just recycling these treasures, let them live a little longer by upcycling them.
Upcycle is a method where you can take any product, and in this case, an old, damaged,
unsalable, or unusable book, and reuse it in and around your home to create something that is useful for you. So a wonderfully readable book that’s still fitting for reading could be valuable somewhere besides the crafting table.
