Altered Books
Rather than building a book from scratch or making a new text block for an old book cover, you can work directly on the pages of an old (or new) book. You never have to start with a blank page! Some pages can be removed to make room for layers of collage and texture.
These examples are from two old books used in a Lorraine Reynolds' class at Shake Rag Alley.
