The Sketchbook Project is the world's largest library of
artists' books, crowd-
sourced from every corner of the globe. The
project is changing the way
creative people share their work while
creating a worldwide community re-
source. By getting a sketchbook, you
are joining the movement, adding your
voice and becoming part of something
huge. Draw, write, collage, cut, print,
photograph - It starts with an
idea.
