The Book Shorting project by Nina Katchadourian comprises a selection of books from a single source arranged so their titles tell a story. Commonly, the selection of books also exemplifies the traits of their source too. The concept has inspired a book sorting group on flickr, where anyone can photograph and post their constructed tales. As a fitting addition to the project, Nina has commented that a book is also in discussion - a story of stories on stories!
From the project:

My weekend project is to photograph some of my own to amuse you. From a quick perusal I already saw this one:
A chocolate a day / The littlest clue / As I lay dying / It must have been something I ate

Those two are quite clever. I like the second picture the most though. I think it would be interesting if an author actually planned out his or her book titles this way. Has that been done before?
Trey: I can't think of any offhand, but it sounds such a great idea!
