In lieu of malarkey, an idea for upcycling ARCs your friends don't want

    That's an awesome idea. Love how they turned out. And you're not wasting good art. :) Great post.

      Thank you! Yes, saving good art is exactly what I was shooting for. I feel much better about recycling if some part of a book gets to live on.
