Never quite get round to finishing that book you've been meaning to? Still putting off
cracking open the
Dickens biography you got for Christmas? Recalcitrant readers take note: a publisher in
Buenos Aires
has created a book written in
disappearing ink.
El Libro que No Puede Esperar
(The Book That Can't Wait)
comes in a sealed package and
as soon
as you start to turn its pages, the
ink begins to age... and fade.
Readers have less than two
months
to tackle the tome before the text
toddles off into the ether.
While it might sound as though it
was created by a sadistic speed-
reader who wanted to torment
rather slower bookworms, it's
actually a bid to boost excitement
about real, rather than digital,
books. It'll be be a real cliffhanger if you don't finish it in time.
