What is an altered book?

• Have you heard about altered books? What is an
  "Altered Book" you may wonder? Well, it starts
  with any type of hardcover book - old novels,
  text books, children's story books, dictionaries,
  technical manuals, etc., anything, even a blank
  journal can become an Altered Book. Once you've
  chosen your book, you "alter" it. You can
  transform your book by adding paint, paper, yarn
  and other embellishments that convert the book
  into a personal treasure! You can alter the
  cover, glue pages together, highlight words
  phrases, fold the pages into pockets for hidden
  messages, and even cut niches into the book for
  buried treasures. There is really no limit to
  what you can do!
• Why Create an Altered Book?
• To pay tribute to someone special in your life
  or to commemorate a special occasion. To
  showcase your poetry in a collection or make a
  book of meaningful art statements. (This is what
  you will do for A3.showcase literature, from
  your point of view. Perhaps your Altered Book
  will be a personal journey - a pictorial history
  of your life, or the life you wish you had? "I
  was born in a castle in Luxembourg and vacationed
  in St. Tropez."
