A Thousand and One Books
A crowd-sourced travelling library filled with a thousand and one books, each donated by someone who loves that book and thinks that other people might love it too.
Visitors choose from a thousand and one dedications written by donors – but each book’s author, title and cover remains hidden until they take the book out. Once they’re done reading, they pass the book on: give it to a friend, post it to an aunt, leave it on a park bench…
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
— HARPER LEE, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
