Customer Reviews

This book is a delightful visual and cultural exploration centered around a curious theme: objects that look like books but aren’t. Over the course of many years, the author has traveled across Europe—visiting flea markets, antique fairs, and auctions—to amass a collection of more than 1,500 book-shaped antiques and vintage items. From this vast archive, approximately 760 standout pieces have been carefully selected and presented through detailed photographs and in-depth captions, offering a fascinating look into the diverse forms and functions of these "fake books."

The items featured in this book span a wide range of categories, including beauty and hygiene products, smoking accessories, food containers, storage boxes, toys, religious artifacts, fashion accessories, specimen displays, office supplies, and more. Each object is based on the form of a book but conceals a unique purpose and story, showcasing a whimsical blend of daily life utility and decorative art.

These seemingly bookish items reflect not only craftsmanship and humor but also challenge our conventional understanding of what a book can be. Although rarely studied in fields such as library science, exhibition design, or cultural collections, it is precisely this underexplored nature that makes the publication of this book so meaningful.

Whether you're a devoted bibliophile, a designer drawn to the artistry of paper and print, or simply a lover of charming curiosities and lifestyle goods, this book offers a refreshing source of inspiration and surprise. Through these finely crafted and imaginative objects, readers are invited to rediscover the boundless possibilities of the book as a physical and conceptual form.
