There are coffee table books with jaw-droppingly cute kittens (we got those and make no judgments!), stunning landscape vistas (check), genius artists' retrospectives (uhuh), blablabla...and there is POSTSECRET.  Here's a book that began as a public art project; artist Frank Warren entreated the public:

"You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything—as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.”

Folks responded in droves with beautiful, shocking, funny, disturbing, painful, embarassing, totally resonant confessions, all on handmade postcards that run the gamut from breathtaking works of art to scrawled graffiti.  Before you buy our exclusive paperback edition (yesyouwill!), use our nifty Sneak Peek feature to flip through the book (virtually) to see just what I'm talking about.  It's completely addictive--I read it aloud and show it to my friends, who blush, gasp and laugh a lot.
