Preparing an altered book correctly is essential for getting your best results in your layouts. Today I break down how to identify the best book for altering, where to find it, how to tear out pages, and gluing pages together for secure, flat canvasses to create your altered book on. This is a lot of video: consider it a master class in altered book prep.

Here is a link to my altered books playlist here on Youtube with flip throughs and how-tos.
