look at this set of minibooks from the folks from london-based tank magazine, simply called tankbooks. they were inspired in part by iconic packaging of cigarettes - classic literature in classic packaging as they say. authors include tolstoy, kipling and hemingway.

modern chia pet alert: this little i grobot planter is only a wee 4″ tall and 2.5″ wide, but it packs every inch of itself with fun, in the form of grass seeds that you can water, grow, and cut. the packaging has cute drawings too.
