Confuse and Frighten Strangers with FlapArt
How to . . .
If you're anything like me and you frequently take public transportation, spend your lunch hour in mall food courts, or have textbooks that require book covers, you'll find FlapArt to be a valuable product. FlapArt really is merely a book cover, but with a twist for the mentally twisted. Michelle Watters is the genius behind these wonderful covers:
Awhile ago, my husband Brian said "wouldn't it be funny if you were sitting on the subway reading a book and on the front cover it said, How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away with It? Imagine what people around you would think, especially when you finally finished the book".
There are quite a few various book covers available, including these ones:
- How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away With It
- How to Make your Grandmother a Porn Star
- The Nutritional Benifits of Nose Picking
- How to Overcome Nymphomania
- How to Steal From Your Employer and Get Away With It
I'm not sure how these FlapArt covers will work for you . . . either it will help keep strangers at bay, or it will be a conversation starter. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell which of these contradicting results you'll get, which is disconcerting. I'm sure plenty of people will purchase FlapArt to start conversations, and others will buy FlapArt to keep that talkative old lady on the subway from even thinking about telling you of her day.
Either way, FlapArt is sure to give you personal gratification, knowing that even if you're reading a bit of ::amazon("0802844375", "Alvin Plantinga")::, people will think you're reading about "How to Make your Grandmother a Porn Star."

That is so cool. I would totally buy one.
The only thing that would make it cooler was if you could order custom book covers.
I want one with a picture of me and a title something like, "My Life as the most famous person in the world that no one ever recognizes on the bus."
