The Spineless Classics poster series brings [classic book favorites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booksy) and recreates them into a [piece of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan).

Using every single world of the classic tales, the posters are a book in of itself. Amid the words is an illustration, which correlates with the specific story. The prints make use of both positive and negative space to form a silhouetted image. Some of the beloved featured stories, such as Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and Much Ado About Nothing are available in the collection. As the publishing company says it best, "having a great [art]work form part of the backdrop of your life figuratively, shouldn't stop you having it there literally."

Though you may need to get a magnifying glass out to read the words on the Spineless Classics poster, this is as much a literary pleasure as it is a delightful work of art.
