I imagine many people will have mixed feelings looking at this, a garden where, "As time passed, the some 40,000 books and wood plates making up the walls of their garden have decayed and dissolved, while new life has also found its way in to the space."
In truth booksellers throw out very many books all the time: over-productions, book club editions, the broken spined, the missing paged, etc. I can see no better use for such books than this natural decay that provides both a work of art and a great environment for insects. I know some people can't bear the thought that books should be thrown out (probably the second most thing common customers, who are selling books to me, tell me) and not everyone will like it but I think it is rather charming. What do you think?

Isn't that wonderful! The only thing that would worry me is that I'd feel a sudden need to read one of them...
