Waterproof Books

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the break-out-the-bubble-bath dept.

Ant sent in a bit about new Water proof books. From the article "The new dunkable books are made not from trees, but from plastic resins and inorganic fibers. Melcher Media, a New York-based publisher, is promoting books that are manufactured using a technology it calls "Durabooks." The books' pages don't absorb water, and they stretch instead of tearing. Other companies make waterproof books with standard wood-based paper that is heavily laminated in the printing process."

    I'm normally bored of a porn mag by the time the pages are stuck together. So I can't really see the point.

    Anyway, not being able to wipe it off just adds character. And it helps to stop other people stealing your porn.
