Last year a group of us on Vancouver Island decided to do a Altered Book Round Robin. We are the Altered Islanders, six artists, most of whom have never met, and scattered from Victoria to Ucluelet to Campbell River. We each selected our book, did some altering in it and then sent it out to the next person on the list. We chose all shape a sizes of books. Mine was a Hungarian Dictionary that I picked up for about $3. Most of the books had a theme. You can see a selection of the pages from our books here.
