Robert The is the ultimate sympathizer of old books. He collected these from dumpsters and thrift store bins, saving them from their underappreciated and presumably less-than-sanitary existances. He believed that these books; educational books, classic literature, and a surprising amount of bibles, deserved vengeance. He meticulously cut each book into a lethal weapon, so they could defend themselves from the society that left them in the dust. They're so well crafted, that each gun still fits perfectly into it's original state which of course, The saved.
I don't know about anyone else, but these images make me feel slightly guilty. I do a lot of rereading so I never throw away old books, but I bet they would like to be treated with more respect than I show. Perhaps less ear marks, highlighting, coffee stains, food stains and random scribblings. All I can ask for is their forgiveness, and their promise not to shoot a barrage of paper bits at me. Check out the rest of Robert The's bookguns on his website.
