This is the first time I hear of someone thinking of "repurposing" a book. What about repurposing them as fucking books?

Tons of people collect encyclopedias

Make a chest rig and turn each copy into a disposable armor plate. Thick books can stop a pistol round...sometimes.

We have a lot of idiots up here. Few years ago a fella stuck a very large mortar style firework to a hard hat and lit it, killed him. Hope for his sake it was just the concussion that did him in and burns from the explosion.

coat the pages in resin, binding the whole book together into a solid brick and cut them into bookends (or hammers or something, whatever)

What does the 1960's encyclopedia say about the holocaust? I'm genuinely curious.

Also if books of that size have no other value you can make book safes and sell them on etsy
