KAIF & OBLOM - Artist Book for $1,000,000,000

Written by Don Valeri Grig de Kalaveras


Continued from page 1

The idea was born in a split second, "All one needs to do is to create nothing and insert it intorepparttar book "Kaif", that is to make a book’s plaster cast or a notebook, to write onrepparttar 109819 cover page a pen-name - Homo sapiens,repparttar 109820 title Kaif and to sell it for one million dollars".

What isrepparttar 109821 value of this book? Its value is that a purchaser buys not a book or a notebook but his own pleasure obtained by his own intellect fromrepparttar 109822 idea, i.e. his own Kaif or Nothing. Due to this very reasonrepparttar 109823 author ofrepparttar 109824 idea does not have any right to introduce his content, because no one but a buyer can know what his Kaifis.

Thus a buyer turns intorepparttar 109825 latest genius, because he becomes a genius not only withrepparttar 109826 help of his own intellect but also for money, and this givesrepparttar 109827 appearance of a genius. Also this book can be perceived as whatever one wishes and to see in it any content in any language and one copy only.

But they won’t understand, will they?

Then it is necessary to create one more book "Oblom", which will berepparttar 109828 author’s idea book, Amiran's one, underrepparttar 109829 pseudonym Ubralo Adamiani, which in Georgian language stands for a Simple Man. The author of this book has an exclusive right to introduce his content and to present it torepparttar 109830 purchaser ofrepparttar 109831 book Kaif as a frustrated Oblom ofrepparttar 109832 author’s idea, if such a purchase takes place.

Ifrepparttar 109833 purchase doesn’t occur,repparttar 109834 idea’s author at any time can write his Oblom inrepparttar 109835 book Oblom, publish it in 100,000 copies and get his million.

I was delighted with Amiran's idea and instantly understood how many-sided it is in its seeming simplicity and infinitely substantial. I agreed to make it at once.

On 15 th November 1996 at 4 p.m. local time Amiran and I were sitting inrepparttar 109836 unassuming cafe. Before us onrepparttar 109837 table there wasrepparttar 109838 first inrepparttar 109839 world absolutely empty and totally simple object of luxury or "Immaterialized Nothing",repparttar 109840 resume of XX century;repparttar 109841 last book of XX century and simultaneouslyrepparttar 109842 first book of XXI century;repparttar 109843 last book of 2nd millennium and simultaneouslyrepparttar 109844 first book of 3d millennium;repparttar 109845 first inrepparttar 109846 world dilogy in which nothing is written;repparttar 109847 first inrepparttar 109848 world object which readsrepparttar 109849 spectator wishing to readrepparttar 109850 content ofrepparttar 109851 books where nothing is written;repparttar 109852 first inrepparttar 109853 world object assigned for multi-millionaires valued at $ 1 000 000 000 ( book photos at http://www.donvalerigrig.com/kaif_and_oblom.html ).

On it there were lyingrepparttar 109854 keys to Amiran's old car. We were drinking champagne silently. I felt warm, nice and unbearably sad.

Review of "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1"

Written by Sherri Allen


Continued from page 1

Asrepparttar name suggests, "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1" is very informative. There is so much information presented, in fact, thatrepparttar 109818 narrative tends to get a little dry in parts -- it starts to sound a bit like a John Deere catalog. That's balanced, however, by things likerepparttar 109819 fun segment on John Deere toys,repparttar 109820 interesting lessons on modern farming and, of course,repparttar 109821 exciting visuals.

If your children can't get enough of tractors and heavy equipment, I recommend "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1." Without having to step onto a worksite, they'll get to see all kinds of tractors doing all kinds of jobs.
