$2500??
That's an awful lot of money for books you can't even get off the shelf, from the looks of it.

If you look at the first of the alternate views under the main picture, the books actually do come out. Of course, that doesn't make the $2500 price tag any less ridiculous.

Yeah, but it is very moving, isn't it?

Or is that just me?

I think it is beautiful.

Steph, I agree that it's moving. Jackie and tuckova, I agree that $2500 is ridiculous. I could make one for about $10 but then it wouldn't be famous. :)
