Tankbooks said of this...
"Cigarette pack edition of "The Death of Ivan Ilych" and "Father Sergius"
by Leo Tolstoy. The flip-top cigarette pack is one of the most
successful pieces of packaging design in history. TankBooks pay homage
to this iconic form by employing it in the service of great literature.
We have launched a series of books designed to mimic cigarette packs –
the same size, packaged in flip-top cartons with silver foil wrapping
and sealed in cellophane. The titles are by authors of great stature –
classic stories presented in classic packaging; objects desirable for
both their literary merit and their unique design. Each story is
complete and unabridged – with a type size that’s easy to read.
Individual books are great for throwing into a pocket or handbag – an
instantly familiar object to carry with you. The complete set comes in a
stunning tin – perfect as a really original gift. "
This edition has no longer availble from publisher.
