Interestingly neither can Su - here's what she wrote about it herself:<br /><br />"I think books found me. I used to trawl a great secondhand bookshop in Carlisle, not really knowing what I was looking for. I would buy the books in bulk and some would sit on my bookshelf for a while. The first book I cut I thought ‘should I be doing this?’ There are books that I buy with the intention of cutting and then I can’t." (copied from <a href="http://www.bradfordcollege.ac.uk/culture-and-arts/creative-pathways/su-blackwell-continued" rel="nofollow">this article.)</a><br /><br />Could I cut a book? Well if I did it would never look like these - so I'm full of admiration.Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.com
