Within the pages of The Pocket Scavenger, readers will be instructed to collect a spectrum of quirky items: something that is miniature, a stain that is green, something from the year you were born, a used envelope, and more. Welcome to the highly inspirational world of Keri Smith. This book is unlike any other you've encountered and will allow you to open yourself up to the possibility of creating something new and unexpected. Smith dares readers to drop some kind of coloured liquid (ink, tea, coffee) onto a page from a good height (at least five feet) draw in the dark (or with eyes closed) creatively misspell words paint a picture in a water-based medium (pen, marker, watercolour, etc) and leave it out during a rain or snowstorm and bury this book, then dig it up. In Mess, Keri Smith, creator of Wreck This Journal, asks readers to explore what it feels like to throw themselves off balance - on purpose.
This Is Not a Book will engage readers by having them define everything a book can be by asking, 'If it's not a book, what is it then?' - with a kaleidoscope of possible answers.
