    Ever wondered what it would be like if best-selling albums had been books instead of records? No? Well neither have we BUT that probably has more to do with our lack of creativity more than anything else and so it’s lucky for us/you imaginative peeps like Christophe Gowans exist and overachieve at dreaming up amazing things like the above.

    We handpicked a bunch of our faves below but head over to Christophe’s website to checkout the collection in full.




    Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

    - Charismatic Harvard whizkid Hendrix’s self-help bible. A spin-off from his phenomenally successful TV reality show, ’The Experience’.



    Power Corruption and Lies - New Order

    - Pocket guide to best business practice by four experts, each renowned for their corporate and financial nous.



     


    Purple Rain - Prince

    image

     


    - When a form of acid rain, caused by a comet ploughing into Uranus, appears to stunt the growth of every living thing on Earth, mankind’s very existence is on a knife edge. When a group of pygmies realise that the peach is the only plant unaffected, they found a new society, with the peach stone as its currency.



     


    Horses - Patti Smith

    - Thorough and clear children’s reference book concerning all things equine. Sadly, many of the illustrations within have been disfigured with juvenile amendments and additions, in biro.



     


    Blood, Sugar, Sex , Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    image

     


    - A slim volume of occult incantations. None of them work, though.
