Bookshop has hilariously creative idea to bring books to life

To the joy of its 21,000 followers, Librairie Mollat is regularly posting pictures of staff and customers as they mirror the pose seen on the book covers, matching up perfectly with clothes and colours.

Mollat, in Bordeaux, was the first independent book store in France when it opened in 1896.
