Literary Autopsy
I bought this book Tutankhamen, but I did not enjoy it. All this piffle about curses from people who were nothing more than thieves. So I cut into it in anger, like Howard Carter desperately trying to find the tomb. Vaguely attempting to replicate Brian Dettmer’s book autopsies, but knowing in my heart I’d just never be quite that good.
This is a fancy way of saying ‘Brian Dettmer is ace, go look at his stuff’.

He is and you are too!

That’s quite impressive … but I’d like to see you make one of these!

Hmm, I reckon I would be able to stick a big pile of books together quicker than I would be able to make this.

never a dull moment with you is there?
I actually may have made some extra work for you
sorry.
Take heart
Brian Dettmer may be good at chopping books, you are clever at lots of things.
I must admit after viewing this there is an old set of encyclopaedias that are looking pretty well past their use by date, if you get my meaning.

Wow. That’s pretty amazing – and thanks for sharing your inspiration. I bet he doesn’t do plasticine and planets like you do!

Incredible.

I buy dollar hardbacks and hollow them out.

I saw my friend’s mum finish a book and throw it straight into the fire. It was awesome. This is more awesome though.

I’m not sure that is entirely awesome.
