"Published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of its original publication, this special edition of the beloved, bestselling cult classic features a new design, new cover illustration, and fifteen never before seen drawings. The book is a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world written in an unknown language and features intricate, surreal, and highly imaginative illustrations that are almost architectural in detail by Luigi Serafini"--
“Codex Seraphinianus is the perfect book to drive a reader mad with delight and frustration. Created by Italian artist Luigi Serafini, it’s a vast compendium of surreal illustrations annotated in a made-up language. The infinitely bizarre diagrams – a horse with a caterpillar rear end, umbrellas walking on human legs, a machine extruding people – make “Codex” impossible to put down or comprehend. It feels like a biology textbook designed by Salvador Dalí on acid. The giant new 40th anniversary edition from Rizzoli includes 15 fresh drawings. To see it once is to be enchanted forever." —WASHINGTON POST
"This mysterious and untranslated book of wonder is phenomenal even if your state has not legalized marijuana. If your state has legalized psilocybin you might want two copies." —BOINGBOING.NET
