Ikea News: The Billy Bookcase Book.

By Chrisjob

Billy, the book

The Billy Case System, the world's most sold bookshelves [I got four, how many do you?] is turning thirty this year. To celebrate? Ikea is releasing a book to celebrate its release: "Billy, 30 Jahre Jung."

You don't even need Swedish 101 to figure the title out, but if you have passed your intro to German courses, here's some text from Stilsucht: "BILLY – das meistverkaufte Regal der Welt. 41 Millionen Stück sind bisher eingeladen, abtransportiert und aufgebaut worden. 18 Millionen BILLY stehen in deutschen Wohnungen und damit ist BILLY zu einem Stück Kulturgut avanciert. Grund genug für den Verlag Zweitausendeins, ein BILLY Buch in sein Sortiment aufzunehmen, das die Erfolgsgeschichte dieses Regals aus deutscher Sicht beschreibt."

 

Via.
