How To Reuse Old Encyclopedias and Books

We had a set of very outdated encyclopedias, and they had sat on our shelves untouched for years. Thrift Stores, Libraries, etc won't take them anymore. So I figured out a way to reuse them in our home without damaging them!

Thank you for watching! I’d love to invite you to join me…

I like the twist look. Alternatively, you could drape some fabric over them. You could make it seasonal. I have a couple of sets in my bookshelves. I've been reading in them here and there. It's all very interesting.

I love the curved style the best and I think that is a perfect way to reuse something so they are not just thrown away

Nice idea. But those books weigh a ton. We have a full set..

Did I miss the part where the books were glued together? Would not want to go through the stacking every time I vacuum.
