Anagram Bookshop Ad Campaign

I normally don't include posts that can't be redirected to the original artist's site but I'm having trouble tracking one down as it appears that the Czech advertising agency, Kaspen, responsible for this campaign for the Anagram Bookshop, has merged with another company. Anyway, some great art and creative thinking. I'd love to add a link to an official artist site if anyone can provide one.
