Zeeland, The Netherlands –- Lockdown has proved frustrating for us all, and we have missed the ritual of browsing a miscellany of books at book fairs and bookshops. As a result, we decided to try to replicate this experience with a fully clickable catalogue.
We have presented three shelves of books, and a “picture wall” with no titles or descriptions in the catalogue. Instead, a prospective buyer will need to hover over a book on the shelf to see what it is and click through if they wish to read more about it. Far closer to the physical sensation of popping into our book room and selecting a book yourself.
