Edible book photos are up!

The Dewey Decimeal is immortalized in pixels at http://www.frybooks.com! I recommend surfing the entire selection of comestible codices, but if you're just looking for the highlights, these are my picks...

Best "book arts": A Book in the Mouth Is a Pain in the Butt
Worst pun: The Ryes Were Noshing Gouda (there is a six-way tie for runner-up on this one.)
Tastiest: Heart of Darkness (chocolate mousse covered with raspberry sauce)
Simplest: Dune
Most political: Pie and Prejudice
Most surreal: The All-American Girl-on-Girl Jell-o Wrestling Almanac (yes, those are real dolls in there)
Shiniest: Cookie Codex (I want to know where you get iridescent purple shimmer for cookies!)
Smallest: My Year of Meats
Largest and Most overwhelming: Little House on the Prairie (you could smell the butter in the vast frosting prairie, and even the little vegetables were detailed.)
Absolute favorite: The Unbearable Lightness of Bean (second worst pun and second best book art - the pages are phillo dough and curled in an utterly convincing fashion.)

Sick, sick, sick.

Mind you, the original's pretty sick as it is. 2/3 of it was completely inedible due to interactions with scary plastic doll hair. But after we pulled the dolls out it was great fun to squish our fingers in five pounds of multi-coloured jello!
