"Are you diving into a smoldering novel? Browsing through some incendiary literature? Give the book-burning-bunch something to get hot about with this flaming placeholder. Wedge it snugly between the pages of your favorite edition of “Fahrenheit 451” and let this stylized flame show you quickly to your saved spot.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them!"

“I recommend Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to those who like the original and think they would be amused by a light addition of "bone-crunching zombie mayhem." Really, there is less about zombies and more about martial arts and its culture, anyway. Also, don't forget to check out the discussion questions at the end, which are just as funny as the book.” Anne Limber on About.com
Also available Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
