Particular Books are very excited to welcome the creative talents of best-selling author Keri Smith. Her books are huge word-of-mouth hits in the US: where four years after publication, Keri"s first book "Wreck This Journal" continues to sell a thousand copies a week..."This is Not a Book" takes a uniquely skewed look at the purpose and function of "a book", Keri Smith asks readers to creatively examine all the different ways. "This Is Not a Book" can be used. With intriguing prompts, readers will discover that this book can be: A secret message - tear out a page, write a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place. A recording device - have everyone you contact today write their name in the book. An instrument - create as many sounds as you can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover. "This Is Not a Book" will engage readers by having them define everything a book can be by asking, "If it"s not a book, what is it then?" - with a kaleidoscope of possible answers.
