Book Handling Agency in Berlin turns dog-ears into status symbols

A new service in Berlin, the Book Handling Agency, offers to make any book on a shelf look thoroughly read by adding dog-ears, absinthe stains, and other signs of use. The agency provides a way for people to claim they have read books without actually having done so, by creating convincing evidence of reading. The service is aimed at those who want to appear well-read without the effort of reading.
