Concertina Book

 Title: Memoranda of Important Matters
Artist: Julie Shaw Lutts
Type: Handmade Book       

The way this concertina book is handmade is what makes this book a bit more personal, especially how the book is covered by hard cover which makes it look like a box which protects the concertina inside.

On the outside it looks like a box with a little window to look inside, the cover also seems to have writing all over the front which also add a personal touch to it. When looking inside you will notice three little statues stuck inside the cover, in my opinion it looks as if they are like soldiers protecting the book inside.

I think the main thing that draw my attention to the book, was how it came across as a more personal diary, mainly because of how it looked like a secret was hiding inside.
