The Librairie Mollat in France is attracting quite a lot of attention to their Instagram page after employees started noticing how closely their store's books resembled their customers and themselves.
Their cheeky photos show how book covers fit unusually well into the frames of everyday life, especially when they mirror the people holding them. It's a classic example of clever French wit, and Mollat's 21.2k followers are hooked on it. Mollat was the first independent bookstore in France, opening its doors in 1896 in Bordeaux, a legacy its current employees are only helping to bolster.

So many of these are the same employees, but a few are obviously customers. "Hey, Diane, can you wear that magenta dress next time you come in?" Or do they know the store so well that when someone comes in, they automatically know what will match?
I would say that's WHY they chose her aha, as nothing else does

Ok, I'm running out of words to describe how f*****g incredible these are!

Turns out the person posing for the image is a white woman. Don't judge a book by it's cover 😉

that picture was taken a long time ago, she is a miserable looking old f**k now, serves her right for marrying that stupid Greek c**t, look at their off spring, Charles is an a*s bandit and likes to be whipped by that f*****g thing he married that has a face like a bag of scrap metal, look at Anne, she would sooner suck one of her horses off than a human that's why she got rid of her husband, then there is Andrew and Edward they were kept out of the limelight for some unknown reason, probably because they would not bend over for their pervert dad.
What do you mean about a hand behind her ??.

I instantly knew it was Frieda Kalho, she's done quite well on branding herself for decades to follow
Load More Replies...This picture is even better if you've read the book. "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" is hilarious.
Dude, if you want to comment, comment. Nobody wants to see what type of emoji you put next.

This is the bookstore staff leader! I think she does this sort of thing a bit more than just in these photos...
I love this! It's totally inspired me to go through all my books and see what I can come up with. Thank you!
This would be funnier of there wasn't a typo in an article about a bookstore ("Have a peak at some of the funnies...").
