…AND REAL SMOKERS READ.

“The flip-top cigarette pack is one of the most successful pieces of packaging design in history. [Indeed.—Drax] TankBooks pay homage to this iconic form by employing it in the service of great literature. We have launched a series of books designed to mimic cigarette packs – the same size, packaged in flip-top cartons with silver foil wrapping and sealed in cellophane.
“The titles are by authors of great stature – classic stories presented in classic packaging; objects desirable for both their literary merit and their unique design. Each story is complete and unabridged – with a type size that’s easy to read. Individual books are great for throwing into a pocket or handbag – an instantly familiar object to carry with you. The complete set comes in a stunning tin – perfect as a really original gift.
“TankBooks are for people on the move, lovers of literature and connois- seurs of design. Try one and you’ll be hooked.”
— Patrick Valenza

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Well, if nothing else, this finally establishes once and for all that I’m not a real writer. Good thing we got that cleared up.
We alll know who the real writer is. WE ALL KNOW. Sadly.
Well, that’s pretty damn awesome. Hilarious, where did you find this?
Thanks. An industry site called THE WRAP. (Now go to bed.)
Cool! Oh wait I mean Kool!
Damn straight young man…
