Moment of Squee - Thermal Ink

Okay, so this has not been a weekly thing, but I am going to try to post "Moment of Squee" more often.

Today's squee comes from an article at Brain Pickings about Jordan Crane's new kids book - Keep Our Secrets. In a blend of science and whimsy that is full of awesome, it uses thermal ink to hide messages and images in the book, which are revealed at the touch of your hand. Check it out!


As a bookseller these kinds of things are really exciting, especially because I think that creative projects like these are what will help keep the brick-and-mortar bookstores in business. After all, you can't do that on a Kindle.
