Beach-reading: Will The World Finally Have Waterproof Books?

ADVERTISEMENT

It is 2015 and I think the world deserves waterproof books.

The bath or the beach are a great place to settle your mind on great authors like Twain or Shakespeare. But paper and water don’t mix, and an iPad in a plastic sheet just doesn’t do it for me. I want to read, not skim and swipe. Frankly, I found it hard to believe that in 2015, you still cannot buy a decent waterproof book to read.

That is why I have launched a Kickstarter to make fully waterproof books, offering great literature from Twain, Shakespeare, poetry from Yeats, and a special Limited Edition of the Art of War, by Sun Zi.

Using synthetic paper made out of polypropylene, these books are waterproof, tear-resistant, virtually indestructible yet fully recyclable and costs no trees to make.

Support Bibliobath on Kickstarter to receive your first copy.
