Find Your Book

Alice (from Alice in Wonderland) reading LSD by Timothy Leary.

How would the stories in classic fairytales and works of fiction have turned out if the protagonist read one of these suggested books? Would Alice have actually enjoyed staying in Wonderland? Would Little Red Riding Hood have empathized with the wolf? Hard to say.

What we do know is that these thought-provoking and beautifully made photo manipulations involved a team of people including illustrator Ricardo Salamanca. (See some of his past work here.) They were made for Gandhi's Bookstore and come with the tagline: Find Your Book.
