The Late Movies: Fun with Books

facebooktwitterreddit

It's no secret that here at mental_floss we love books. We don't just love reading books, though -- we love seeing what other fun things people do with books. From sculptures to dominoes to stop motion animation, books are used as the basis for a variety of entertainment and art beyond reading. Here are some of our favorite videos that have fun with books.
