A bit twee, but lovely all the same. I kind of hope this isn't some viral marketing thing, but I also don't care if it is. The world needs more stuff like this.
Maybe the artist isn't an Ian Rankin fan, though. Maybe he actually loathes him and is simply ostentatiously destroying every one of his books he can get his hands on.
