The first sentence is the most important part of a book, or so I’m told.
I took photos of five of my favorite books and then added the first sentence.
Some of them came out very well, like I am Legend, which is fittingly creepy.
These were all made with an iPad app called Over.

Thanks. Took me a while though, the app kept misbehaving and losing the words.

Hi Johann! Cool project. Mind sharing with our support guys what happened that caused you a bit of trouble?

No problem. The text would jump “above” the on screen photo and be unreachable.
Sometimes the font selector froze or gave me artwork instead of changing the font. On one occasion I couldn’t scroll down to the artwork selector (it kept bouncing up).
This would often happen again and again, and making these 5 images took quite a while.

I don’t pay too much attention to first lines. But now I really want to scare up my edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes. Great images; thank you!
