The Accidental Memoir by Anthony Cropper and Eve Markis is an illustrated book which is really innovative in it's concept.
.
.
It's like a thoughful slam book which when you complete filling out turns into a full memoir.

The book builds up with simple little questions. Like it asks you your three wants, your three dreams, your three needs. It makes you write a confession or two of yours in a post card. It asks you about your favourite food, your favourite song. Asks you about your heros and your heart throbs.
.
.
And when you are done filling out, you'll be surprised with how much of your life this book would have captured by then. I'm seriously amused with just a sampler.

Thanks to the publishers @4thestatebooks for providing me with it.

I have yet to use this one to it's full glory- however it does seem to be a really interesting way of creating a memory book of sorts.
