This book hypnotized me as I walked by it at Ripley’s ALA exhibit. I had asked for a review copy of one of their latest released when I was doing an interview with their Vice President of Exhibits and Archives, Edward Meyer, before the event. I was only able to get one of their books from decades ago through Pines library loan, and it was, as I expected very different from this new version. At the time the two girls exhibiting the books told me that they could not give me one of the eye-catching display copies, even on the last day and at the last hour of the exhibit. Then, they mailed a copy to me around a week after I returned home. When I say the cover is hypnotizing, I mean literally, as there are three giant, bloodshot eyeballs on it that move, gradually following a person walking by. The title is echoed in a series of chains that these eyeballs are sitting on. The cover is a bright green and the words are extruding from the page, so that even a blind person might have noticed it even from many feet away. Obviously the low price can only be explained by the fact that it was printed in China by Leo Paper. A US printer, would’ve charged at least twice more for this full-color, complex creation.The press release that came with the book mentioned some curious stand-out stories from this collection. One is about a man climbing the Swiss Alps “on all fours as a goat,” using extensions that allowed him to really take the posture and other advantages that sheep have when climbing mountains. He joined a herd of goats for this climb. The eyeballs on the cover make more sense when the issue includes the story of Birdman Ted Richards, “who had his ears removed and his face and eyeballs tattooed to look like his pet parrots!
