Your Favorite Classic Books: Now In 3D

Prepare yourself for a visual blast — books like you’ve never read them before. On April 1st, 2011, Better World Books is proud to announce a breakthrough in literary technology: Classic books in 3D.

Welcome to the future of reading. We call this brand-new home entertainment BWB3D™.

All you will need in order to enjoy this new literary experience is a pair of our brand new stereoscopic spectacles, and of course one of our new line of 3D-printed books. You will be right there, part of the action, experiencing the story as it comes to life.

Just imagine experiencing classic literature with never-before-seen immersion. Doing the Charleston with the Great Gatsby. Being right there with Ishmael when he says “Call me Ishmael.”

Thanks to the marvels of modern technology, you can experience Dostoevsky, O’Connor, Faulkner, Stein… all in eye-popping 3D. Turn even the dustiest of your dusty tomes into edge-of-your-seat page-turners.

And the good news?  You can get this cutting edge technology today (while supplies last).
