These posters were a lot of fun to make – some people were more reluctant for a photo shoot than others, but we got some great smiles. It was especially fun to try and figure out what book we'd want to show off and be associated with.
If you were to have your own READ poster made, what book would you choose? What format? Print? Book on CD? eBook?
