In 2004 Frank Warren printed 3000 postcards inviting people to share a secret with him – something that was true, something they had never told anyone. He handed these cards out at train stations, left them in art galleries and in between the pages of library books. Then, slowly, secrets began to find their way to his mailbox. This book is a presentation of those post-card secrets. The secrets are sometimes shocking, a little sad, optimistic, thought-provoking, funny, and/or romantic. The cards themselves are works of art too. I found the book impossible to put down and read the whole thing from front cover to back in one night.
