Tank Goes Up Against British American Tobacco Over 'Cigarette Pack Books'

Usually the worlds of book publishing and tobacco companies don’t mix. But this interesting piece in the Guardian, “Battle Ahead for ‘Cigarette Pack’ Books,” found by way of One Good Move, finds a situation where the two are butting heads. It’s a story about the small publishing house Tank creating a series of classic books to resemble, in size, shape and design, packs of cigarettes. But British American Tobacco claims that they have done too successful a job at mimicking the originals and have since involved lawyers in the debate.
