15 Perfectly-Placed Book Covers That Create Cool Optical Illusions

Forget about Photoshop. With a little creativity – and with the right book or magazine cover – you can easily transform yourself into your favorite personality. Or maybe just strike a funny pose.

When used in the right place at the right time, covers can create interesting optical illusions such as in the photos you will see below.

Tell you what, I felt like digging up my old books at our home when I saw these pics. I mean this looks really fun to try, right? I’m definitely doing this one of these days.

In the mean time though, let’s all marvel at the brilliance, wit, and humor of these awesome people:

#1. A Charlaine Harris book. Love how everything seems spot on – down to the lady’s eyelashes.

#2. Incidentally, this girl fell asleep while reading a magazine.

#3. Never knew Putin had such pretty legs. LOL!

#4. This guy’s a Young Entrepreneur. Like literally!

#5. Somewhere, somehow… Salvador Dali must be chuckling in approval.

#6. I wonder if this guy, just peacefully reading on his chair, had any idea what happened here.

#7. Love that facial expression.

#8. This one’s masterfully executed.

#9. So seductive!

#10. A perfect fit indeed.

#11. When Fraser Met Billy.

#12. The Great Cover Up.

#13. This would hurt in real life.

#14. Guy’s wife fell asleep while reading and he freaked out upon seeing this.

#15. Another Charlaine Harris title.

As a book lover myself, I think these photos are absolutely fun. Like I said, I’m trying this soon! This is much better than using a face swap app.
