I have encountered this book a number of times at a friend's house and have lusted over it for years. It's an incredibly fanciful book- full of the most incredible artistic ideas. Panamarenko's creations look like Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machines albeit with modern, and yet, aged twists. I became bound and determined to aquire a copy for myself and found it difficult to do through my usual sources. So I turned to Amazon, found a copy, and was extremely happy that it came beautifully protected from Europe in a very timely fashion. All in all- a success!
