Read the Fine Print
These novel posters turn iconic pieces of literature inside out by using the text itself to illustrate the story. Each one uses the complete text of a favorite book to create a bold a silhouette of one of their instantly recognizable characters. Dorothy and her pals skip through their journey to meet The Wizard of Oz. Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland attempts a round of flamingo croquet. Headstrong romantics Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy draw together near the end of Pride and Prejudice, while Daisy Buchanan stands at the heart of The Great Gatsby, looking tragically chic. In The Odyssey the hero, Odysseus, cleverly evades the wrath of Poseidon. Carefully arranged, the entire text of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is arranged into portraits of Huck and Jim fishing on a riverbank. The posters are high quality prints of black ink on White Porcelain silk cover paper, and while the print is very small--it is entirely legible! A startling feat of both literature and design. Made in San Diego, CA.

The recognizable silhouettes in these literary posters are certainly something special, but take a closer look and you'll see that the background is actually text from the novel! Which poster is your favorite?

I would love to hang these on my wall, especially the Wizard of Oz one. I would definitely get it for my little cousin who is in love with Wizard of Oz.

i like the idea...but it could be a lot more eye catching and appealing

This is a brilliant idea. I trust you when you say the text of the books is actually the background; unfortunately I can't see that at all even when zooming in but I'd love to see these in person.

They are very interesting, but I don't know anyone how might want one.

very clever idea ... might not be my personal style but I know people that would love it - great gift.

I've seen similar works with song lyrics and these appear outdated in style (possibly appealing to an older crowd but not in my opinion those who shop your site/catalogue)

I guess this might be cute in a child's room, but other than that, I cannot find a use for this.
Marion

Similar work available on Etsy but most often with vintage dictionary pages and a positive print. The use of negative space on the entire novel is a better connection and a little more effective,in my opinion.

Great feedback, Marion! While other book art pieces are available elsewhere, these are unique in that the background is actually made using the complete text from the novel represented.

Interesting idea. Would be more 'fun' in color. I can't think of any reason to buy one, though, particularly at the likely price (more than $20).

It is a great idea but, I don't like the grey on white effect.

I love the idea of these, but the materials make it sound like they'll be way more expensive than I would like. If they were <$30, I could see myself giving them as gifts.

I love the idea but I wonder if the text is actually discernible so that one could actually read it in case they felt so inclined?
