Description

Shereen LaPlantz' popular how-to book titled, "Innovative Bookbinding: Secret Compartments & Hidden Messages," was a massive hit that sold out instantly in two hand-bound editions in 1997 and 2000. After multitudinous requests, we are pleased to present this 2013 edition. Shereen's premise was that "we can take our books one step further, hide something extra in them, then they will be so much more dynamic!"The first and second editions included four hand-bound "Secret Compartments and show more Hidden Messages." This third edition, using today's technology reproduces these books photographically in new special sections that illustrate Shereen's original book and her very original vision.Shereen LaPlantz made her final transition in 2003. Thanks to the dedication of her husband, David LaPlantz, this 2013 edition has been very carefully recreated and is lovingly dedicated to Shereen's memory and all of the magic and love she gave to the Book Arts world.As Shereen always said, "Make fun books!" show less
