The Library of Lost Books is a collection of old, discarded and damaged library books which we have rescued from certain death-by-pulping…

Each rescued book is being sent to a selected UK artist to be re-made as a work of art. They will be exhibited together in Birmingham in September 2013 and will go on to form a travelling exhibition around the UK.”
