Spineless classics? No, I don't mean the kind of story that will weep and nod at any criticism or be walked all over. This fantastic project seeks to provide books literally without spines. How? By putting each book all on one page and very pretty they are too. The text of each book has been originally shaped into an appropriate image, many satisfyingly intricate, so that they can be enjoyed up close as a novel and far away as a clever silhouette.
I've come across this project before but it wasn't until visiting the Cheltenham Literature Festival this year that I saw them properly, not just online or advertised in magazines. They're not cheap but they're good fun and if you're looking for something to fill 'that space' above the sofa, have a look at www.spinelessclassics.com
