Stocking stuffer ideas are coming in early this year. A new book series by UK creative group Tank, is designed to look like a pack of cigarettes. Classics like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Kafka's The Metamorphosis, and Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are some of the first in the collection by Tankbooks. The condensed books are packaged in traditional flip-top boxes, wrapped in foil and sealed in cellophane.
Implications - These adorable packages may look like a health hazard, but really this is just clever marketing. For anyone looking to read some classics in style, check out the TankBook collection and you'll find just what you're looking for!
