Customer Review #1:
Unspeakable
Wear shades! What you see in Adam Kalkins hyperpolished mirror might scare you. Aphasic and perverse, Kalkin throws knife-edged arcs into the sky. This is what you get when geometry sleeps with poetry. Sniff the pictures and then eat the book to complete the synesthetic experience.

Customer Review #2:
You cannot imagine how much you want this book...
...because you cannot imagine what is in it; I find it remarkable that anyone could. I bought this book mainly based on the cover picture, because I like looking at innovative design. I did not expect the combination of (1) delightful, radically imaginative, yet practical architecture / interior design with (2) insightfully sardonic Monty Pythonesque, Warren Zevonish humor. The blend, throughout, is liberating. There are many excellent photos as well as professional and kid-like drawings. You will feel admiration. You will laugh. You will want a house made of shipping containers. You will want to call the number that shoots the gun that misses the ...(buy book to find out what). The book includes plans and photos of the authors art exhibits. It will make you want to sit down with pencil and paper to design! Nothing could have prepared me to appreciate this book except all the crap Ive been exposed to in the last 40 years that is supposed to be penetrating, funny, and original in art and building. It is what you really want on your coffee or bedside table. Youll feel badly if your dogs rip it up. It is not an imitation. It will damage that dead stuff that hangs out in your CNS.

Customer Review #3:
The perfect litmus test for friendship
A venal and combustible mix of troglodytic patois. Perfect bathroom reading; small, but raw enough to inflate your bowels with a new sense of self. You will laugh, sweat and vascillate between repulsion and enlightenment. A perfect gift for someone you might befriend.
