tankbooks…
As one habit dies hard, another takes hold.
Tank is launching a series of books designed to mimic cigarette packs – the same size, packaged in flip-top cartons with silver foil wrapping and sealed in cellophane.
TankBooks pay homage to this monumentally successful piece of packaging design by employing it in the service of great literature. Cigarette packs are iconic objects, familiar, tried and tested, and over time TankBooks will become iconic objects in their own right. The launch titles are by authors of great stature – classic stories presented in classic packaging; objects desirable for both their literary merit and their unique design.
TankBooks are for people on the move, lovers of literature and connoisseurs of design. Try one and you’ll be hooked.
Titles:
Joseph Conrad “Heart of Darkness”
Ernest Hemingway “The Undefeated†and “The Snows of Kilimanjaroâ€
Franz Kafka “The Metamorphosis†and “In the Penal Colonyâ€
Rudyard Kipling “The Man who would be Kingâ€, “The Phantom ’Rickshaw†and “Black Jackâ€
