  • From my library: A nonsensical, beautiful, bizarre book about... who knows!
    NOTE: I said it's the 20th anniversary, but it's the 40th!

    Just heard about this book today on Adam Savage's (of Mythbusters fame) channel! How cool is that!

    The alphabet looks like a mix of Georgian and Arabic

    I watched an interview with the author some years ago and I remember him saying that his intention was to make the reader feel like a child. When you’re a child pre alphabetisation, and you open an encyclopaedia, you don’t understand anything: you can’t read! You’re just in awe with the illustrations. I think it’s a great concept. To fill grown ups with a sense of wonder again.

      Yes, it is like that, but it's also funny!

    Vídeo maravilhoso. O Codex Seraphinianus é um livro incrível e diferente, tanto pela sua escrita indecifrável quanto pelos desenhos cabulosos. Eu adoro essa obra e sou fã.

    This isn't the deluxe right?

      Hello, that's right, it's not the deluxe edition. It's good enough for the likes of me, though!
