There are a few things in this world we like more than dessert and books. The beautiful art project Ice Cream Books, which we learned about on Trendland, tempts us with lovely book cover designs and frozen treats — all in the same photograph. The bold colors and sticky-sweet cones with melting deliciousness all over the pages of Kurt Vonnegut and other beloved authors is a visual delight. See more Ice Cream Books in our gallery — and then immediately eat your favorite frozen flavor and indulge in a good read.
