1. Find a selection of books preferably with hardcovers and a romantic vintage design. Clean the covers using  alcohol or dishwashing detergent (silicone-free).

2. Pile the books on top of one another to the desired height. It depends on the books thickness.

Glue the next book somewhat twisted on the top of the other one and continue so that they all are stuck together in a pile. Make sure that the books are centrally positioned one above the other, so that the table is stable.

4. At the top of the last book use transparent double-sided adhesive tape so that the only one you can see under the glass table top are only the books and no white adhesive tape.
