New kind of book with "disappearing" ink
Oct 10, 2012
A publisher in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, has produced a new kind of book that disappears as people read it. The ink reacts with carbon monoxide in the air and slowly fades, disappearing completely about three months after it's first opened. Publishers say the aim is to get people to engage with reading.
