Maybe they're not for everybody, but I love the idea of Litographs.

A Litograph is a poster where the text of a book (eg: Alice in Wonderland, The Invisible Man, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) makes up an image related to the story. Typography-based art certainly isn't new, but in this case the entire text of the book is used, which I've not seen before.

I has been a while since I had significant investment in textbooks for my learning, so I'd almost managed to forget how bizarre and inane they can be. Luckily, there's a tumblr to remind me.

Thanks, Textbooks. Thextbooks.

Also thanks to matlane74 for bringing this to my attention. Thmat.

Good Books "Metamorphosis" from Antfood on Vimeo.

Man, this could have gone so badly but I think they've done a fantastic job. Certainly doesn't make me less inclined to use Good Books in the future.
