We’ve seen plenty of books that tell you how to use your camera. As the title makes clear, This Book Is A Camera functions as a camera all by itself. Its pop-up design provides you with a pinhole camera just by opening the cover and popping in a couple tabs, with a lightproof bag, five pieces of photo paper “film”, and development instructions — ranging from a complete at-home process to outsourcing — included in the package. The photos it takes aren’t going to wow anyone, but as a piece of functional art, it’s both interesting and inspiring.
