Hello,
I’m interested in adding some altered books to our book arts collection, and wonder if people can share sources with me (sellers or artists). I have in the past seen nice examples on Etsy but on my recent review there were not a lot that seemed appropriate. I’d like t0 find ones that are sculptural and expertly crafted.

Thank you!
