What Goes Around Comes Around


  With David Garcia Studio’s mobile bookcase (Archive II), 
 you can roll your personal library with you wherever 
your feet take you—and it even offers a place to curl up 
and read a few chapters. A gerbil wheel for bibliophiles, 
this interesting  concept was
 “inspired by ancient traveling libraries from the Far East,
 which visited courts and cities,
 Archive II transforms this into a personal space, 
where walking and reading
 coexist as refuge and transport.”

 EVERY 30 SECONDS A BOOK IS PUBLISHED IN THE WORLD




THE AVERAGE PUBLICATION PRINTS 5000 COPIES
EVERY MINUTE 10 000 BOOKS ARE SENT TO PRINT

The average reader can read about 240 words per minute
A 300 page book normally takes 9 hours to read, non stop
If you read while you walk, you can read 
a book in about 43 kilometers...




"If you read and walk, watch out for traffic".
