Hi Sam, The book is called ALFABETIERE by Bruno Munari and I believe it is only in Italian but I'm not positive about that. I found a link for it on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Alfabetiere-Bruno-Munari/dp/8886250738/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446844314&sr=1-1&keywords=ALFABETIERE) and one available from a shop in Canada here (http://shop.collagecollage.ca/collections/books/products/alfabetiere Hope that helps!

Hi Helen, Here are some new links to homemade guitars/ukuleles. If you just make a smaller version then you should be okay for a ukulele - there may be a few other details to change too (number of strings?) but I'm not sure. The blog in this tissue box ukulele post has gone private so I can't get access to that tutorial anymore. Instructions and photos for a cardboard box guitar: http://www.ikatbag.com/2012/07/cardboard-guitar.html Tissue box guitar: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Tissue-Box-Guitar Pictures only of a cereal box guitar: http://thefrakersacres.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-its-march.html Detailed instructions for an authentic looking guitar: http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/03/mister-make-it-and-love-it-series.html Hope that helps and good luck!
