A Smoking Library

Tales to take your breathe away
A habit too good to kick 
The flip-top cigarette pack 
is one of the most successful pieces of packaging design in history. 
TankBooks pay homage to this iconic form by employing it in the service of great literature. 

TankBooks has launched a series of books that are designed to mimic cigarette packs. 
 Not only are they the same size as a pack of cigarettes they're even
packaged in flip-top cartons with silver foil wrapping &
 sealed in cellophane
The titles are by authors of great stature 
classic stories presented in classic packaging
objects desirable for both their literary merit and their unique design.
Each story is complete and unabridged – with a type size that’s easy to read. 
"Tank Books are for people on the move, lovers of literature and connoisseurs of design. 
Try one and you'll be addicted." 
As a substitute for smoking, reading really is so much healthier. 
Literacy disguised as nicotine addiction
