ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.
USER REVIEWS
"This is a fun, interactive book that will keep you occupied over the days, weeks, or months it takes you to use it. A girlfriend has it, so I picked one up and we worked on them together. That was a lot of fun, because we had different ideas about what the different pages meant.
Definitely worth the money, in my opinion. If nothing else, you'll have a cool conversation piece you can put on your front table. :)"

"I got three books one for me, my sister and mom. I had everyone come over and explained the idea of the book. They loved it. And then I said in the next few weeks and beyond we will share parts of the book we have done with each other. It is amazing what differences everyone has-even though they are family.
I also enjoy that my husband and I can do some of the wreaking together-it makes for a fun evening together. It would be great to do with friends too.
And dont forget to take it everywhere with you-you never know what will come up! :)"

"I loved this journal! I was reluctant to buy it because I wasn't sure exactly what it was even after getting a look at some of the pages online. However, I didn't want to send an ordinary gift for graduation or cash, and after some consideration, I took a chance. I was very happy when I received this in the mail. This was a very fun and creative gift. I have three teenagers and they all enjoyed flipping through it before I sent it off. I think many college freshman would enjoy receiving this, or even as a great birthday gift for a high school student. I would buy this product again."

"I am an artist who bought this book for myself as a birthday gift and fell in love with it. What other book asks you to destroy it with reckless abandon? Keri Smith had a wonderful idea...freedom! Freedom to experiment without worry of the outcome. I brought my "Journal of Destruction" to an artist retreat and many artists not only helped me with a few pages but wrote down the book's information to order one for themselves. My teenage nieces also liked helping me destroy my journal so, I'm getting them each one for their birthdays. Yay for Keri Smith. Can't wait to see her other journals with a similar theme."

"I could not have anticipated how much fun this book would be. I had flipped through at a couple of stores before I bought it and remember thinking "I couldn't do this! I couldn't buy a book just for the purpose of destroying it." But then I came on here and read other reviews and decided to go ahead and order it. I am so glad I did! It is so freeing to throw it around, scribble on it with reckless abandon and do all the things you've ever dreamed of doing to a book, but knew you would get in trouble for. I have limited myself to one activity a day (boy is that hard!) so I can make it last as long as possible. I highly recommend this book!"
