I Finally Found This 'Banned' Empty Book

At the airport today, I was selected for additional screening, and the agent riffled through my books. I guess to see if I had stuff hidden in them. I had three books with me. I had some John Berger, I had some Philip Bump, but I also had this new acquisition.

Do you know how hard it was for me to get this book? It's banned! The only way to get a copy is to find someone who snatched one up before the threat of legal action ceased its publication.

Here's the thing, though: this book contains no words. However, the further you get into it, the darker it becomes. You might notice that it's titled "50 Shades of Gray," but it's gray with an 'a,' not an 'e.' This is not the 2011 erotic romance novel by El James. It is an empty book by Shed Simone.

It's literally just 50 shades of the color gray arranged in sections of decreasing brightness. Unfortunately, Random House thought that his title was too similar to their title, so they sent some of a cease and desist, and he complied. Which means this book has become very hard to find.
