It’s becoming somewhat of a tradition at Juniper Books – every year we build a Christmas tree constructed out of books, but we change how it is made each year as the possibilities are truly endless. Last year we made a 7 foot tall tree made up of about 800 green books stacked layer upon layer. This year we made a more subtle creation – a tree made up entirely of olive green law books, some of which we carved form the tree’s branches.
Before anyone gets upset about cutting books we should explain a couple things – first of all we re-purposed about 10,000 law books this year this year that law firms and law libraries no longer needed as their content has all been digitized. Thousands of these very nice substantial matching books went to retailers and designers for decoration and visual merchandising, and hundreds more we have used many for Juniper Books’ custom jacket creations such as our Elephant Six-Pack. So, cutting, chopping, carving or drilling through a few books that we know are plentiful and may face worse fates if we don’t do something creative with them makes perfect sense to us! We won’t be dismembering a first edition of Pride and Prejudice anytime soon.
