I love the idea behind this product. A book-shaped chopping block.
The Romeo & Julienne name is a bit cutesy for my liking, but I guess I don't really care what the product is called. The purist in me, however, hates the name engraved onto the book's spine. I would much prefer a completely minimalistic presentation. And the bibliophile in me would love to have about three different sizes so I can store them on my counter standing up like a bookshelf.
Purchase yours at Fred & Friends. Or just check out all the other creative products for sale there. Lots of great gift ideas.
