Edition of Fahrenheit 451 that can only be read by burning the pages

I’m finding this a very mixed message.

In one way it’s sort of like making the book a dangerous thing, as if you can only read it by candlelight in secret which fits with the novel.

On the other hand, it’s applying flame to the book which is a very bad thing in the novel and seems to miss the message. I actually think it would be a much better gimmick on a different book where book burning wasn’t a theme.

In a novel where books are burned, getting to pretend to burn the book doesn’t seem like a great idea.

Also, I don’t care if Bradbury would approve, I don’t approve.
