Bellevue meets Rockwell

I went to the Goodwill awhile back to get some books to alter, and found this old one named Bellevue:
  It was written in 1940 so the pages were already distressed.  Then I went to the library for free magazines and found a Life with a tribute to Norman Rockwell, and wondered what it would be like to pair the pictures with the book.  Here's what I came up with:








Since the pages were already distressed, I used the ones I tore out for pockets.  It's a bit of a fragile book and will have to go to a special person who is able to care for it properly.  And I'm sure there is a better way to position the pictures but I haven't figured it out yet.  When I'm sure that I'm finished with the book I will list it on Etsy with a fuller description of the pages.
