this looks like an interesting book...thing

So, another love of mine is typography. This book by Tara McLeod entitled, "Hot Acrobats Perform Cheese Fog Polka," looks like a real interesting view on old-school typography. Here is a synopsis of what the book is from the site where I found the picture:
With butcher paper, a swag of wooden type, and an 1832 Albion flat-bed press, Tara McLeod, owner-operator of The Pear Tree Press, printed 20 copies of Hot Acrobats. It was printed in sections on one continuous sheet and could well have been called: £63 NIGHT HAWK BAM! McLeod has some 25 publications to his credit over a period of ten years. He also prints limited edition books for the Holloway Press at the University of Auckland.

If somebody wants to buy it for me, that would be awesome...especially since he made only 20 prints of it.
