RIP the pages
I find it fascinating and wonderful that books could be treated with such respect as this. It's a better fate than simply languishing, in dust and apathy.

Hey, nice picture :-)
What a touching story....but should this practice be extended to other books? Should we be consecrating Britains first book graveyard?!
There's plenty of other important books in the world y'know ;-)
Thanks - you can have it for your album, if you like. Incidentally, how is the recording going for it? ;p
I'm tempted to insist that no respect should be made for Mills & Boon titles or autobiographies by 21 year olds. But yeah, books are genuinely sacred things, so perhaps that'd be an idea - though recycling's better if it'll just be another big landfill site!
Well I think you're beautiful
How charming of you to say so - I'm touched. But who are you? Don't be scared to say hellow in person, oh anonymous personage ;)
