Book sculptures are one of life’s unexpected beautiful surprises. An old book is a treasure in itself with its crisp pages, and the distinct scent of time left pressed between the covers.

Some old books are worth millions of dollars, while others have wilted and rotted past their prime years. Instead of tossing out old books that no longer serve a literary purpose, some artists create beautiful sculptures from the actual pages of the book. Check out these 25 examples of some of the most incredibly beautiful book sculptures you have ever seen.
