XD. "Nothing is ever gained or lost. It only changes form."
Yep, I very much agree. Plus, getting to rip the book to bits, (during the paper-making), should be cathartic for you, right?!
I think when space allows my DH wants to do more physical collaging rather than digitally as he does now, and I'll offer the book up for cut-ups. The paper-making is a good idea, but the thing is: EVERYONE buys writers blank books and I have probably half a dozen around that I have yet to even write in, preferring plain old spiral notebooks. Let's see if he can make some worthwhile writing out of those poor wasted words. That would be supremely cathartic for both of us, since he felt terrible about having chosen that as my gift. Not his fault--I'd been looking forward to that book for over a decade.
Hey, just do what feels right &/or makes you happy, because life is short, right?! So follow your bliss.

Thanks for replying. I suggest you get a paper-making kit & turn the book into blank pages that wil then be useful.
