wow. putting a mix of good and bad design on design milk is definitely a great idea.

this is bad.

or good?

perhaps it makes us consider our reliance on knowledge from books. seeing as this design inhibits our ability to read, perhaps it is suggesting that our own personal knowledge is not limited by access to physical knowledge.

either way it is artsy and is horrible.

@ Hao

How would you take a book out? That’s a silly question. Unless you really don’t know what a clamp is and how it works. Which I suspect otherwise because you won’t be commenting in the first place.

Wow… I have some old clamps in my garage I could sell somebody to destroy their books. Bidding starts at $100/each. Small price to pay for art.

One also assumes you have books because you want to read them, yes? This makes them visible but inaccessible. This is either a statement on censorship or a design prank.

How would you take a book out? Ridiculous, useless, and unpractical design.

I’ve seen this on a dozen other sites. What an AWFUL idea. Poor books! It’s a clamp, squeezing and ruining perfectly good books. What the hell. That’s not design.

Sorry have to agree with the other commenters. It is a freaking clamp. Lazy and a horrible way to treat books. Bibliocidal.
