Book Description
Today more than ever, you cant judge a book by its cover. Why? Because two of the hottest new trends in bookmaking are pushing the boundaries of what it means to write, read, and experience a book.
This exciting guide explores the creative processes behind altered books when artists make their own distinctive mark on an already published workand collaborative journals in which many artists come together to create a unique single work.
Readers will learn how to alter treasured books through collage, paint, layering, sewing and more. And theyll learn how communities of artists can come together to select a topic, set up a project, and ultimately publish or show their finished collaborative work.
Filled with easy, how-to projects and beautiful gallery photos, this book will help artists of any ability to create books that tell unique and personal stories.

Reader Reviews
Only 4 stars because if you buy this book for what it's supposed to offer you'd be disappointed. This is not a book about the HOW to alter books.. but more of a journey at looking at other people who have. * This book is a showcase of books. * This book will not help someone who has never got into book-making before * This will provide you with inspirations to do something, it doesn't treat you as a pre-schooler saying 'cut here.. paste this' etc. It is all about setting your own creative spirit free. * Combine this book with a more basic 'how to' if you really need it, but for someone who is willing to experiment this book will get you going.
