Captivate readers with this dynamic book structure! A seemingly simple codex – which is actually two accordions attached together – opens delightfully to reveal three hidden rooms when the center page is pulled open. Each “room” provides an intimate space for showcasing your illustrations, photographs, collages, etc. This versatile book is appropriate for both beginners and experienced bookmakers alike. All materials are provided by Verge, but you are encouraged to bring collage materials, pictures, stamps, etc. to decorate your book.
