Old Spice Guy Action Playset

When I used to get a Star Wars action figure I would open the box, stick the figure right up to my nose and take a big whiff.  Each one smelled differently (Tie Fighter pilot smelled like strawberries).  Now you can have an action figure that smells like ole' granddad, not the bourbon but the the real McCoy.  With lady presentation action! He has a Horse!
(Sorry it's really an art presentation by Mick Minogue)

Structures O'books

Sure, it looks cool until you are eaten by the giant silverfish.

Book silo, just add grain.

Clever words about this book structure

Wondering what to do with your analog book collections now that your face is buried in a Kindle.  I don't know, build yourself a new house or your town's library out of them.  Or maybe just build some random useless structure (art).  It's your call.

Dual Title Book Covers

The book cover that you first see tells a lot about your personality.  If you see Moby Dick before you see Red Riding Hood just go ahead and make an appointment with your shrink.

Automatic Bookmark

Albatros bookmarks from Oscar Lhermitte on Vimeo.

In a move to assert the relevancy of the analog book, designer Oscar Lhermitte has created an ingenious automatic bookmark.  Each time you turn the page it automatically marks the page you are on.   It doesn't work well in books over 700 pages, sorry It and War and Peace (two books I read back-to-back every summer).  It's pretty cool, but why didn't someone think of this 500 years ago.  Other inventions of Mr. Lhermitte are the automatic Victrola winder and the buffalo nickel holder (holds exactly one buffalo nickel!)
