An enlightening book

Books, indeed, illuminate our lives. But you also need good light - as in honest-to-God lumens, hard-core wattage. The Enlightenments, a lamp in the form of a book, combines these principles, with a nod, alls well, to the 18th-century age of reason. The Enlightenments is available from its creator, Studiomeiboom Communication, a Dutch design firm, which will give 10 percent to the Edukans Fund, a charitable organization. The purchase price is €89.00, exclusive carriage costs. www.lightupyourworld.nl
