American artist and mathematician Robert The is the creator of these odd works of art made from books.

"Many of the books used were found in dumpsters and thrift store bins," and he says,
"they are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris."
Beginning the practice in 1991, the California-born artist's work has since been shown across New York and across the nation.
