I was surprised to find a search for it on here returned no results. I would have thought a community of artists would be all over it.

Anyhow, the thing has been around for several years and it's worth looking at, if you haven't already seen it. In fact, it's worth looking at if you have. Enough in there to give you inspiration for the rest of your life.

Want to know more about it? Google is yer friend.

Nobody? Crikey, I am really surprised. Honestly, go and check it out; it's the most interesting book you'll ever clap your eyes on, by a long way. It has a beautifully created writing system, which is entirely without meaning, btw, and lots of extremely lovely - and often bizarre - illustrations.

If you are in the least bit interested in Surrealism, Dada, or if you just like things that are plain odd, you will love it.

A physical copy of the book itself will set you back around £100 for the latest edition, although first editions can go for thousands. If you don't want the pose value of owning the real thing, there are plenty of places you can take a look for free. In any event, go and look, you will not be disappointed.

I checked it out when you first posted the thread, a very interesting concept indeed. When I get more time, I will peruse it closely. BTW, you can download a pdf of the book. And yes, the physical copy can set you back.

Yes, I have a pdf of the thing.

Hoping Santa brings me a real one.

Nah, that's just selfish unless it's for something serious like a kidney transplant for a kid. I'd never dream of asking for something like a book for myself.

I found it not to my taste. But I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
