Flip-Flap

FlapArt Book Covers

We know it’s a cliche, but it’s true: Men say the dumbest things.

“You already have six pairs of jeans.” “You didn’t tell me your friend was hot.” “Wouldn’t it be funny if you were sitting on the subway reading a book called How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away with It?”

What? Sometimes it’s easiest to just nod your head and smile. But, thankfully, designer Michelle Watters was paying attention — because her FlapArt book covers are an absolute riot. Choose from more than twenty shocking titles like Do-It-Yourself Liposuction and Fast Track to Prison —  Exploring the Many Benefits of Life Behind Bars. Just fold the jacket over your latest hardcover and watch eyebrows shoot up.

Want to really freak people out? Peer shadily over the pages of How to Overcome Nymphomania or flash a satisfied smile as you flip through The Art of Fart Projection.

So the next time a man in your life offers words of wisdom, listen.

After all, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
