She would draw on the covers of old books, or cut shapes out of the pages like a small pop-up book and then sign them and hide them around the city. If someone was lucky enough to find one (like behind a dumpster), then they would be the lucky owners of the piece. And I thought it was cool until a recent trip to Anthropologie. If you know anything about the store, they have great eclectic stuff to purchase and fill your home with. Anyway, I saw this book and I thought, "wow, I found one of her books hidden in a store... its mine!". Then I turned the book over for further inspection and I found a $250 price tag. I can't believe a retail store was selling her art as its own product. Anyway, I like your books. This reminds me of a local artist here in San Antonio.
