Don't Destroy Books For Art

I am always terribly disturbed when I see people making crafts out of old books. For example, I have seen many examples where people will carve a scene into a book itself, like this. This is an absolutely awful thing because it destroys the book. And what makes it the most offensive is that they are always advertised as a gift for people who enjoy books.

If somebody enjoys books, it is because of the words on their pages. Turning a book into a sculpture shows nothing but disdain for books. The only way for it to not be offensive would be if it was made out of an absolutely horrible book. But why would I want a sculpture carved out of Twilight?
