Amazing antique artwork painted on the papers' edges, seen only when the all the pages are splayed out a bit and disappearing when it's closed and squared up. That would be worth an entry, and more interesting than this lumpy cartoonish mural. You want to talk about painting on books, how about fore edge painting?
