Snakes On A Muthafuckin' Book


 

Sick of the endless Snakes on a Plane hype? Us neither! Which is why you really ought to spend your morning learning everything possible about Snakes on a Book.

"They say you cannot judge a book by its cover, but what if your summer read is bound in snakeskin?

Most people would not relish opening a book wrapped in cobra or python skin, especially with the summer’s big movie Snakes On A Plane expected to remind us that snakes are one of the animal kingdom’s least popular critters."

Oh, but there's more. Who wouldn't want a copy of William S. Burrough's The Wild Boys bound in Niger goat and snakeskin and signed by the author himself? It only costs $17,500! Chump change, friends. Or perhaps we might interest you in A Romance of Destiny by the estimable Oliver Wendell Holmes. That sounds like classic freshman core cirriculum reading -- and you can be the envy of all the pretentious English majors in class when you rifle through your delightful edition, wrapped in the skin of a fucking PYTHON by a "master bookbinder" called Hazel Dreis. $2,100: so worth it!!!

ELSEWHERE:

As if you don't know how to find SOAP on the Interwebber?! Lolz, guys.

On The Phoenix's books blog, we obsess over literature so that you don't have to. Reviews, readings, news, and literary gossip. Levar Burton might not have wanted you to take his word for it. But we do.
