 Machinarium Verbosus: A Curiosity Cabinet of Gadgets To Transform Any Book & Reader, To Be Sure 
PRAISE FOR MACHINARIUM VERBOSUS “What a creation. Crucial concern with an excitingly playful presentation. This is a seriously silly offering that is totally unique. It is remarkable.” “I am enjoying the devious slyness of each moment it contains, and looking forward to these changing each time I look.” “Upon finishing it, I feel that I’ve been possessed by every writer I”ve ever read, and they’ve altered my reality by their presences. Kind of a mental tickle with a serious subtext.” “Machinarium Verbosus really should be used as a workbook in college courses. And not just Literature courses but all manner of Philosophy, Psychology, even business and advertising. It’s a great exercise book to get the right brain flexing some muscle and exerting a bit of power over the left brain. Get the creative energy flowing... I’m reminded of Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Creative Artist Within.” “Fun and thought-provoking.” “Most enjoyable and stimulating to revisit.” “Wonderful!” “Delightfully perplexing!” “An utter delight.” “Exciting!” “[Conley] is a notable exception to the rule that our age is barren of delicious eccentric thinkers.” “Yet one more testimony to the love of literature, the delight of inventiveness, and the sheer joy of witticism.” |

 About the AuthorCraig Conley is a magic enthusiast and scholar. Recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation,” his intensive and eccentric research has led him to compile a true masterwork entitled Magic Words: A Dictionary. He has also authored One-Letter Words: A Dictionary, among other strange and unusual lexicons, and is a regular columnist for Pentacle magazine. Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Featured Works: Published Works
