Comic book bouquets and boutonnieres

Would you complain if you found said comic book in a dumpster? How about a Readers Digest Condensed Book (which often have pretty bindings but are barely worth the paper they are printed on)? The point is that these comics and many other books would end up in a landfill or recycling bin anyhow. . Why not turn them into something useful and nice one more time (not to mention many people would probably keep them afterwards just for the neato factor.)
