Did you ever read the book by Michael Ende? He has another one called "The Time savers".
Both for children but good for adults as well I remember how fasinated I was by the way it was printed. Two stories both orinted in a different colour. You can read only red or only blue, I give you blue) only or both and no matter how you did it you kept reading as being pulled into a vivious circle without an end. Perfect and way better than the film.

Ever red 'The Perfume' the odours described, a smell among many others during the medieval and how to capture the human odour is very intriguing it makes one want to try it out but better not at the old old man or a bag of rotten potatoes or liars.
