PROJECT THREE :: Specifics

The first element of my bookshop I have been looking into is how to convert paper books to e-books and what is necessary for this process. I have done a little research into this process and have comprised the basic details.

This is an example of the product that is required for converting books.

The second element that I have been researching is how to go about using second hand books as insulation and as a structural element. These are some examples:

For what I am hoping to achieve, I would possibly follow the first image, having just a section of the wall covered in plasterboard and the rest in perspex, or if possible, the entire wall sheeting be perspex. This is obviously something I need to investigate more but an element I'm really happy with.

Before I start looking at how to cover the wall, I needed to look at how to treat the books to make sure that they're safe to use as insulation.
