“The ghosts of my friends”

by Eric Franklin on July 9, 2008

I really love the idea behind this book, surfaced on design sponge, and can hardly believe that it’s over 100 years old. The concept goes something like this:

  • get your friends to sign their name on a page of the book with a thick, inky pen
  • fold the paper down the middle of the signature
  • admire the symmetrical artistry of a smooshed name
