Today in brief: This week's Friday High Five is a visual spectacular, as we bring you five fabulous sculptures, all made out of books. From a cake on a plate that looks good enough to eat, to a lamp that pops out of a coffee table book, to Albert Einstein's head carved out of a phone book, these clever, quirky images will make your Friday.

This week’s Friday High Five is a visual spectacular, as we bring you five fabulous sculptures, all made out of books. Enjoy!
