The Altered Book Round Robin

Altered book artists sometimes create an altered book via an activity called a round robin.

While round robins may differ, depending upon the terms stipulated by the organizer and the members,  the activity involves passing a book along to a number of people, each of whom alters one layout or one page.

Each member usually contributes a book, which gets passed along, eventually to return to its original owner -- decorated and worked on by each artist in the group.

It's a fun concept. When a round robin works well, you end up with a group of happy people, each who have contributed to everyone else's book, and each who have received their original book back containing artwork from all members.

When things do not go well, books can get lost or misplaced, members can fail to meet their obligations, members can complain about one another or the quality of the art work, etc.
