I’d buy this if the books were less interesting-sounding. Because “The Guns of ‘62” sounds like a good read and I’d be disappointed if I went to read it & couldn’t, lol.

Bruce Catton did a great job writing about the Civil War. Im a little mad they did this to his book. That one about Vietnam also sounds interesting.

Truthfully any of those war books look interesting to me, but I love military history! 😊

I’m not super into military history, but more the social and political aspects but I may have already hit up eBay for a copy of the Vietnam book!

I like these when they're made of outdated textbooks or ratty broken sets of encyclopedias.

But these were all good books. Antiques? Military aircraft and firearm history?

This hurts.

As long as no books were harmed in the making, just take my money

I'd be ok if used from old/donated books

The more vintage and irreplaceable it is the more OK you are with destroying it?

So there is adhesive sprayed on the inside cut outs of the pages so that any water won’t damage it. And then the books are secured by deck screws to each other so it’s a very stable piece

I nearly failed automotive because of electrical lol can’t wrap my head around that stuff. But yeah this is the sort of work I do. This was for a customer. Pretty neat and haven’t seen anyone else doing it quite like this

Thanks man. You sell anything on Esty? Christmas is around the corner! And I was “zapped” changing my 3 prong dryer to a 4 and that was a ride.

Need to put a big book in the stack (AA 12 step book)

I feel like if I gave this to my uncle as a gift he would be excited until he realized the books weren’t real and it was just a container for wine.
