this explains the 22 sections of the book in both parts...
this can be used very effectively in my idea as "Flatland by Edwin A Abbott" contains 22 characters allowing for an origami letter for each section!
cool pages!

handmade books....
this will come in handy!
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-bind-your-own-Hardback-Book/
For making my own book i might as well do it properly... or give it my best shot anyway.
this will also allow me to change and modify the process as i see fit to hopefully come up with my own desired outcome. whether or not this is going to be a book primarily for reading, something which can be read or something purely to personify the story is still up in the air and undecided... but hopefully something solid will enter my brain soon!

why i chose the books in the previous post.
when i saw the art work using the books, to be honest id never seen anything along those lines ever before... so obviously its helping me crawl out of the box to try and tackle this brief with as open a mind as i can manage. I will have to stay away from exactly what they have done.. but i feel they just go to show that a book doesnt have to be exactly what we origionally percieve it to be.
