Keri Smith creates interactive books that ask readers to write, draw, collect, destroy, observe or otherwise physically alter the pages. Wreck This Journal gives instructions such as cracking the spine, making messes and using unexpected materials, turning the book into an activity rather than something to preserve. How to Be an Explorer of the World applies similar prompts to noticing ordinary surroundings, while The Pocket Scavenger and Finish This Book use collecting and puzzle-like tasks. Smith's approach deliberately resists polished results: the point is experimentation, attention and permission to make imperfect things. Her books are central to interactive journals, creativity exercises, art activities and books for readers who prefer doing to passive reading. Read more Less
