Inspired by the adventures in what many consider to be the first Russian Adventure Novel, Predki Kalimerosa: Aleksandr Filippovich Makedonskii, wherein the narrator travels to Ancient Greece with a travel device and journeys with Alexander the Great, this book-turned art piece features gold leaf, copper, clock gears, a glass lens, and a piano hinge, all conspicuously assembled to hide a secret feature in the spine.
To top it off, artist Elizabeth Beronick Sheets has included original watercolor illustrations that fold-out as part of this massively tactile, imagination-inducing piece.
This is beyond book design. The appropirately titled one-of-a-kind Time Machine can be teleshipped to its one lucky owner via The Odd Luminary—lucky indeed will its owner be.
