The book that can’t wait
One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never start reading them.
To 75 , a foreign publisher called Eterna Cadencia came up with a very clever idea: it printed the words of the books in disappearing
ink: the text of the book vanishes(消失) two months after the special package of the book is opened, so that encouraging buyers to start reading it 76 it goes away. They call this “the book that can’t wait.”
According to a video presented with the story, the book was 77 . The publisher sold out the whole first edition(版) at a bookstore the day it was printed, and received “thousands of requests” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of news reports. As a result, the publisher is planning to publish 78 kinds of books in disappearing ink.
In some ways, the idea is pretty clever. 79 , we still have some suggestions:
First, the book should start the vanishing process after the reader first opens the book. If the vanishing ink books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don’t want their books to vanish before they read the first page. Second, the vanished book should find a 80 use. Maybe they can be recycled, or maybe we can use them as notebooks. It would be a more environmentally friendly way to do this.
