actually, i thought it was ~nearly a very useful thing. at first, i thought it would open once then close, then never open again. this would be useful for passing information only once, then have the message essentially self-destruct.

He should make a sequel to this instructable on how to make a book that only closes once.

for the some of you that DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.... this is meant to keep the book OPEN as in once its open, you cannot close it. hence you would be able to tell if someone was reading your books since it would be permanently open XD

Things of this nature generally fall in to the category of Art.

Not everything on instructables is useful. Sometimes they're supposed to make you think, guys. Seriously, some people just don't get it.
