Journal Entry 1 by CalgaryKitty from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, February 14, 2003
 What a cool book! This is a pop-up book for adults! I'm very impressed. I wonder what the title means. I'm not even sure what language this book is in, maybe Czech. Thankfully there is English translation of the text inside.
This book is illustrated by Martin Velisek, with text by Miroslav Wanek and the translation by Zuzana Langerova. This book put a big smile on my face.

Journal Entry 2 by CalgaryKitty from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, February 14, 2003
I'm going to bring this book along to the unofficial bookcrossing meetup that will be taking place on Feb 24 at Bad Ass Coffee Co. Maybe another bookcrosser will want it. If not I will release it into the wild after that. =^..^=

Journal Entry 3 by idioteqnician from Stoke Newington, Greater London United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 25, 2003
This looks like a very unusual book. It is shaped like a house and I spent a few minutes flipping through it but I still don't get what it's all about. I'll save it for an afternoon when I have nothing to do and I'll figure it all out then. I think CalgaryKitty is correct that this is written in Czech.
Nice meeting you tonight, Kitty!

Journal Entry 4 by idioteqnician from Stoke Newington, Greater London United Kingdom on Wednesday, March 05, 2003
This is the most elaborate pop-up book I’ve ever seen. It’s also perverted and creepy. Women playing saxophones out of their nipples, workers marching sheep to a yellow house of nooses, a giant soldier made of tiny soldiers with a hanging soldier penis, a sword that you can force through a ghoul’s throat, a baby’s nursery with a whale mother and a rum drinking father, a pregnant woman with fish legs, naked goblins gambling in a school bus, a dog pissing, a musician with a drumstick up his nose, and a man wearing a fanged animal skin attacking a group of musicians with a chainsaw while a maple leaf tries to cover his enormous blue genitals. Every scene has hidden levers to pull, discs to spin, flaps to lift, and demonic tabs to slide back and forth. I have no idea what it all means but I like it.

Journal Entry 5 by idioteqnician at Controlled release in Montréal, Québec in - By post or by hand/ in person -, Québec Canada on Wednesday, March 12, 2003
Released on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 at CONTROLLED RELEASE in Montreal, Quebec Canada.
I just dropped this book into the mail to two friends who are soon to be having a baby. I'm sure their house will be baby-ified within a few months so best I pass this book along to them now and they can get rid of it on the double.

Journal Entry 6 by unibooker from Oakland, California USA on Tuesday, March 25, 2003
idioteqnician passed along this book to me and i don't know whether to be thankful or scared. it is definately a disturbing adult pop-up book. in my opinion, the best part is the cover, picturing a ghoulish family being brainwashed by the television. the television is the least of their problems if they live inside the sinister pages of this creepy book, which i assume they do, since it is in the shape of a house.
the art is quite interesting; it reminds me of paintings sometimes found on walls of hole-in-the -wall coffee shops where disenfranchised highschool students serve nonfat mocha's to their friends who are only there waiting for their working friend's shift to end.
thankyou, idioteqnician. i will pass this on by placing on the shelf of the bookswap i've originated here at work. perhaps an interested passerby will be perplexed by it.
