New Project: Hand Turning A Old Book Page

I like to buy books at garage sales — largely just to see if I can sell them elsewhere for more (and often end up doing that) but some of them end up being worth practically nothing, or so little that the quarter I gave for it was higher than its market value. I don’t want to just throw out these lower-value books, so I’ve been trying to think of an idea of what to do with them.

I’ve considered making a hidden-compartment book out of them (as some of them are thick and would have a pretty good depth for such things, but I think I will have to try making at least one of these –

– cutting some of the pages out (but not completely) so that when crumpled up, it forms one hand pulling the next page over. I like these artsy kinds of things, so might be able to sell it right out again, but with a hand as a novelty piece =D I’ll post the project results when I get them completed (both for compartment and hand-turning books) =)
