Genius Book Design

While at the library today, I spotted two spines that looked almost exactly alike, but with that mind-game of photo hunt. Not that it was that difficult to emulate Ann Coulter's book design, but the idea of making it near identical is brilliant. Everyone who looks to pick up Ann's book will now see Susan's. Of course no one far left or right-winged will even think twice about reading the opposition, but I guess it's for us* people in the middle. Next time I'm at the library I'll take a picture of the whole effect it has on shelf, but for now this image is all I've got. It's a pretty hilarious site to see. Of course the designer in me thinks they could have done a better job of copying exactly the right colors, alignment, and typefaces, but it's alright I guess and gets the point across. Kudos.
