What should I do if I don't have a hardcover book?

Look up indoor flea markets, thrift shops and antique malls in your area. They always have an assortment of attractive hard cover books for less than a dollar.

You can, but it's simpler to just paint the glue on the edges of the pages.

Question

How do I make a book safe if I don't have a utility knife?

Community Answer

Ask a grown up to buy one from a shop for you. Don't try using anything else, like scissors, as these will be potentially dangerous to you if they slip and cut you and relatively ineffective on the book.

It's best to leave it for at least a day, though if you live in a hot and dry area you can start checking after a couple of hours.

Question

Can I use a collage textbook?

Community Answer

Yes, you can use any sort of book you want, so long as it is thick enough, you don't mind cutting it up, and you are not going to read it in the future.
