This is Not a Book

At first glance, it's easy to tell that this is something unusual. After “reading” through it, you'd probably still come away with a similar feeling. This “book” is a creative and stimulating piece of work that challenges and stretches, even shatters, the normal perception of what a book is. It is not a normal book for sure. What it does is it provides weird, creative or daring exercises and tasks for the reader to perform in or with This is Not a Book.

These tasks run the gamut from simple things like filling out lists of things to avoid, for example, to doing arts and crafts using the pages as material. The author Keri Smith also asks readers to try balancing the book on their head or leave it overnight somewhere.

With a different activity on every turn of the page, this “book” will provide a lot of stimulation for those who like to challenge and push their creativity limits.

Those who enjoy this “book” would probably also like Smith's previous books such as Wreck this Journal and Tear up this Book! that also feature similaly wacky and creative exercises.
