How terribly peculiar. Though clever in its own way. The International Edible Book Festival at Colophone features books, that you can... eat.

Fun! But I was disappointed not to find "Naked Lunch" in there - that's a natural, don't you think? Or "Breakfast at Tiffany's"... or "A Moveable Feast "... somebody - stop me!

Hmmm. I would like to try a slice of Bible ... with some Marquis de Sade for desert ...

Now if only we could find a way to also make furniture out of these books. This one looks really damn good (as a replica of a book, I'm not that big on shortbreads from a culinary standpoint).

Appalling.





Okay, maybe not...

hah! Perfect, w-gp!

Yeah, HifiToaster - I'm really curious how they did that one.

Doesn't it perhaps strike them as a bit more challenging to have this event on April 1st? Assuming it is real, then why not just save themselves the doubts and extra work convincing people that it's real and just have it on the 2nd?
