These books are very interesting. People send in secrets anonymously on postcards. Frank Warren, has collected over 100,000 secrets from people all over the world. Frank Warren started Post Secret as a community art project in November 2004. At first, he gave out postage paid postcards on the street inviting people to send secrets to him. Soon, people were sending home made postcards on their own. He gets between 100 - 200 postcards everyday. 20 are published on the PostSecret Website every week. Frank's secrets have led to several published books and even a hit song.

Here are a few secrets from the PostSecret Website.

I LOVE Postsecret...I am planning on buying all of the books. I always wait for Sunday to come so I can see the new secrets. Most of them are pretty upsetting to read, some are uplifting, and a few are just outright silly. I love them all. I think I might send one in also tongue.gif I hope it makes it to the website. Hehe.

I check the postsecret site every sunday to check for new secrets. I never thought reading other people's secrets could be so addictive XD I haven't checked out the books though---maybe I should go to Chapters and see if they're worth buying biggrin.gif Approximately how many pages is the book? What's the retail?

American Rejects used PostSecret's messages in their MV.
