Scratch and sketch books (like this http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2010/12/scratch-and-sketch-books.html ) are like those crayon-etching activities you do when you were little. I want to know how they're made. Are they printed like normal books? Do they use a special kind of paper or paint? What would they be?
Answer
Basically the books start out with a kind of smooth paper called coated paper (there are lots of different kinds) and then they are printed with assorted colors in random patterns. Then another layer is added, which is a different substance that will come off when it's scratched.
You can make your own scratch sheets by getting wax coated paper (we used to use the bottom of a twinkies box) and paint it with India Ink. When it's dry, you can scratch it off with a pin and get some nice pictures!

What is the purpose of a confidentiality agreement in the book i read?

I recently read the book Austenland by Shannon Hale. ( http://www.squeetus.com/stage/books_austen.html ) That website should explain the book's plot. the protagonist Jane goes to an English resort where they pretend to be in the 19th century. However, all visitors to the resort are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. I know that if you haven't read the book this may not make sense, but does anyone know why all visitors have to sign a confidentiality agreement?
Answer
As you say not having read the book this may not make sense - it is just a suggestion
if the whole purpose of the resort is as a theme visit perhaps there is something that happens that adds to the enjoyment and the confidentiality agreement is to try and keep the "secret" of this event so that it is a surprise for other visitors
many mystery plays ask the audience not to divulge the secret of the plot in the notes to the play in the programme and I believe that many years ago some have asked audiences to sign such a clause (the world's longest runninng play The Mousetrap springs to mind - certainly they are still asking audiences not to reveal the twist ending 60 years after its run first started)
