Alli, I am a diligent bookmark user. Growing up in a librarian's house it was a huge sin to corner a book page :)
I found these two books to be pretty cool. First, an edible book. After you're done reading the recipes inside you can actually eat the book when you're done. Best idea ever! It's a special edition edible cookbook from German design firm Korefe and Gerstenberg Publishing. The recipes are printed on fresh pasta pages that can be baked into a delicious lasagna.
This edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Imp of the Perverse, designed by Helen Friel, must be destroyed to be properly read. Friel explains, "The Imp of the Perverse discusses the voice inside all of us that makes us do things we know we shouldn’t do. Each page is perforated in a grid system with sections of the text missing. Readers must follow the simple instructions to tear and fold specific sections to reveal the missing text. Books are usually precious objects and the destruction is engineered to give the reader conflicting feelings, do they keep the book in it’s perfect untorn form? Or give into the imp and enjoy tearing it apart?"
