The shape of things to come has arrived

Everyone knows that books are a representation of serious thought. Whatever its content and subject is about, it is basically a product of long hours of thought and creativity. However, creativity has always been limited to the content (obviously) and the cover of the book (despite the cliche do not judge..., etc.). What's on the title page and verso usually do not need creativity, they just need the editors' and publishers' eye for detail and everything is good to go. For a cataloger the verso of a book is always serious matter. For any other reader, the verso is of no concern to them, they are taken for granted as nothing else but what are usually on it.

The book by Dave Eggers, A heartbreaking work of staggering genius, however, is another matter. For starters it is a 2-in-1 book. What is usually the back cover is actually the front cover of another book. And for another, its verso is a reminder to read everything even the microscopic prints if possible. Go see for yourself.
