Customized Classics

June 6, 2005

Customized Classics will plug you and your friends into a classic piece of literature and give you a bound paperback copy in which you can bask your ego. You can even put your own photo on the cover.

It is a bit limited. I got all excited about turning Alice in Wonderland to Sarah in Wonderland, but you can only customize three characters: Alice, Mabel, and Ada. I don’t even remember a Mabel or Ada, but they’re listed as Alice’s "friends." With the Wizard of Oz, you can’t customize the scarecrow, tin man, cowardly lion, or the witches (I had inspired visions of getting my sister a copy with her boss as a witch). Still, I think it’s a cute idea, particularly for a young reader.
