Books have a special place in our hearts – and on our shelves and coffee tables. Sometimes they don’t even go beyond being decorative objects and we blame our busy lives, thinking that books can wait.

That’s where [Eterna Cadenzia](http://eternacadencia.com.ar/?ref=protein.xyz) comes into play. The Argentinian publisher has created a special ink which will start disappearing two months after having been exposed to light for the first time, leaving the pages completely blank in the end.

The idea behind this project is giving unknown authors exposure and the chance to be read because their stories literally can’t wait. Accordingly the series is called ‘El libro que no puede esperar’ – the book that can’t wait, turning a metaphor around and creating a real, and very nice project.
