Bookface goes French at Librairie Mollat

First #albumface did the rounds, then #bookface picked up the mantle, and then people did it in reverse when they discovered that Adele’s face fits into every album cover ever. Who’d have thought?

Well now #bookface is back with a vengeance – and this time it’s French.

The Instagram page of Librairie Mollat, the ‘première librairie indépendante de France’ – which, even with our extremely limited grasp of French we think translates as ‘the premier independent library in France’ – has picked up a host of followers keen to follow its mastery of combining book covers and the human form.

And all of the books are in French, which just makes it way cooler.
