A habit you don't need to kick

British publisher Tank Books is publishing classic novels in cigarette boxes. The stories include "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Lewis Stevenson, along with many others. The books are designed to be sold from cigarette vending machines in pubs and other public places. Not only are these books cool, but so is the novel use of existing technology. This is just proof that there are more cool ideas waiting to be discovered.

Popular Fiction has moved

Our popular fiction books have moved from next to the DVD's to the righthand side of the Reference Room. We have also shifted the reference collection a little bit to make room for even more new books. Soon Moundbuilders will have access to hundreds more new popular books, both fiction and non-fiction. We are excited about our growing collection and we think you'll be too!
