This Is Not a Book

Interactive exploration of a book's potential.

This Is Not a Book is for the imaginative soul looking to break out of the conventional reading format. It's not just a read; it's a creative adventure. The prompts within provoke thought, invite interaction, and dare you to redefine what a book can be. If you're itching to scribble, tear, and transform, Keri Smith's creation will be a delightful playground for your creativity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Read Keri Smith's posts on the Penguin Blog. A curious, engaging, and creative rethinking of what a book can be, from the creator of Wreck This Journal. In this uniquely skewed look at the purpose and function of “a book,” Keri Smith offers an illustrated guide that asks readers to creatively examine all the different ways This Is Not a Book can be used. With intriguing prompts, readers will discover that the 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?”
