It looks like this on the inside, and the neck bolts to the bit that sticks out the front.

I hollowed out the book ages ago by gluing it shut with a mixture of woodglue and water applied to the sides of the pages, then I used a stanley knife to cut through loads of pages at once - not that hard to do, takes about half an hour. There are probably plenty of instructions on the internet for hollowing out books.

Nice way to push the idea of the cbg further.
how did you sort out the middle of the book. Hollow, solid?
how does it sound?
Inspiring
Thanks

No, it is a vintage 1965 Oxford University Calendar I had lying around my house. An entirely useless piece of literature because it is no longer 1965, but a very nice hardback cover!

Playing the book -- by the book. Did you have to buy the book?
