I've been waiting so long for a copy of the Codex to fall into my lap, and FINALLY, I found a copy on Ebay last week for $90- Sacre Bleu!
I got it in the mail yesterday and, although missing the dust cover, was amazed that the book was in pristine condition...some googly eyed rhino plant god must be smiling down on me...YAY!!!
"The Codex Seraphinianus was written and illustrated by Italian graphic designer and architect, Luigi Serafini during the late 1970's. The Codex is a lavishly produced book that purports to be an encyclopedia for an imaginary world in a parallel universe, with copious comments in an incomprehensible language. It is written in a florid script, entirely invented and completely illegible, and illustrated with watercolor paintings."
