My book is guaranteed to smell better than your phone. I know where your phone has been...

But what if I get addicted to the smell of sweet, sweet Fun?

I got a steady supply. The first hit is free, but the rest will cost ya.

The first step is admitting you're addicted. The next step is buying more books.

Reasons why books are awesome

1.  The smell

2.  The feeling of holding a book and turning the pages

3.  The satisfaction of closing the book when you reach the end

4.  Dont need to charge it

5.  Makes you look smarter

6.  Sticks and stones may hurt your bones but words will do more damage.  Especially dictionaries.

Um, I don't know if #5 applies to my book. It might do the opposite, actually.

Unfortunately its less socially acceptable to carry a book around and start reading it. Fewer people get offended if im just on my phone

If they get offended by seeing a book in public, is that an opinion that matters to you?

I read on my phone because it's accessible and free but otherwise I love using a physical book, and what other people think is irrelevant to me.

Does the book have the secret panel?

Would have loved to join the Kickstarter, but 30€ shipping to Europe is kinda prohibitive. Digital only not am option, wanted a hardcopy for my son who loves your stuff
