Book Sculptures Mysteriously Appear In Scottish Libraries

By Dianna Dilworth 

In what would make for a great plot in a mystery novel, an anonymous artist has visited libraries across Edinburgh, Scotland, and planted uncredited works of art among its shelves.

The artwork is a beautiful series of sculptures made out of old books. One such work (pictured left via Thisiscentralstation.com) is a tree built from poetry. Here is more from blog: “Next to the ‘poetree’ sat a paper egg lined with gold and a scatter of words which, when put together, make ‘A Trace of Wings’ by Edwin Morgan.”

No one has yet to take credit for these very detailed creations. Check out this photo gallery to see a few of the others. (Via BoingBoing)
