In my search for a book to alter, I have decided to contact my local library. This is a good way to get large books that do not cost you AND you keep these book out of the dumpster in the back! To get a book from the library all I had to do was email one of the staff members explaining what I needed and asking if there were any books that they were planning on getting rid of; I believe this is called a "delete list." Within a couple of days I received an email saying that they thought they might have something I may be able to use.
Although I was able to get a book, I will not be working it this specific one. Instead, I have decided to give it to my sister's boyfriend's brother; he has never done an altered book before and is currently looking into art schools. This being known I decided that he may find this an interesting and different way to express himself (while preventing the scattered sketch papers strewn across his bedroom).
