It happens to all of us: we want to read the book we’re in the middle of during our morning and afternoon commutes, but it’s slightly embarrassing.
Guys, you don’t want people in public to realize you’re reading a Jane Austen novel. And, ladies, you don’t want to everyone smirking at your copy of The Vagina Monologues. Really, those could go either way.
Anyhow, Inventor Spot has published some glorious news that will have us all reading next to strangers again in no time. A new company by the name of FlapArt has created a line of designer fake book covers that come in various sizes to fit all standard-size books.
The covers sport ridiculous, outrageous and sometimes crude titles that will have the people on the express rail either rolling in the aisles with laughter or staring horrified at you from their vinyl seats. With titles like “Do-It-Yourself Vasectomy” and “How to Make Your Grandmother a Porn Star,” you can see why!
The back covers are printed with review quotes and summaries, so not only do you set up a realistic environment but you get your money’s worth, as well. The aforementioned grandmother book’s back cover reads, “10 ways to profit off your grandmother!”
These are must-haves for people dying to quash the curiosity of nosey public transportation (or waiting room, etc.) neighbors or if you want to spark some controversial conversation with strangers at random.
