The thought of tearing apart/desecrating a written book gives me the shivers. It doesn't matter if it's in a language I don't understand. Or maybe it's just me :)
If you don't want to do the work yourself you can also buy pre-made ones: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/vintagecovers" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/shop/vintagecovers</a>
This reminds me of a recent Charlie Brooker article in The Guardian regarding the Kindle and eBooks. His articles are always worth a read, and his comments on the Kindle being a "safe" way to read a book in front others definitely hit home for me, as I read most of my books on public transport too.<p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/15/charlie-brooker-ebook-convert" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/15/charlie-...</a>
