TankBooks
Tales to take your breath away
|
As one habit dies hard, another takes hold.
The ban on smoking in public places comes
into operation in the UK on July 1, 2007. Tank is
launching a series of books designed to mimic
cigarette packs –
the same size, packaged in
flip-top cartons with silver foil wrapping and
sealed in cellophane.
TankBooks pay homage to this monumentally
successful piece of packaging design by
employing it in the service of great literature.
Cigarette packs are iconic objects, familiar,
tried and tested, and over time TankBooks will become iconic objects in their own right.
The launch titles are by authors of great stature
– classic stories presented in classic packaging;
objects desirable for both their literary merit and
their unique design.
TankBooks are for people on the move,
lovers of literature and connoisseurs of design.
Try one and you’ll be hooked.
