With timing perfect both for the UK smoking ban and our own Cult Classics Week, Tankbooks are literary classics miniaturised to fit into an authentic-looking cigarette packet (with flip-top lid, cellophane wrap and foil insert).
Books available include Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Rudyard Kipling's The Man who would be King, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Unsurprisingly, they go on sale as the smoking ban comes in on July 1st and you can pick them up for £6.99 from various book shops, along with Selfridges, Urban Outfitters and Paul Smith. [via Retro To Go]
But what do you think? Are they brilliantly designed and entertainingly tongue-in-cheek, or tasteless (and, presumably, tricky to read)? (Between Tankbooks and Karin Slaughter, this could also be Bad Taste Week!)
