Book of Oopses
This rare and almost impossible to find book is now available again and, at the moment, in a very limited run at £25 a copy post free. It is something that I am delighted to offer and the print quality is almost certainly an improvement on the original of the book. "...an unusual format, a 48-page staple-bound volume with colour printing on black pages. It was billed as "a collection of thrilling experiments in which the book itself plays the part of the mind-reader....Each double page spread featured a set of instructions on the left-hand page and a diagram on the right-hand page. Following the instructions you chose one of the items on the opposite page; a playing card, a symbol, a number or a word. When you'd made your decision you turned to the back of the book and looked at Canasta's prediction. Hopefully he would be right. But if he was wrong he offered a humorous and delightful apology and said, 'Oops'." - David Britland (Chan Canasta - A Remarkable Man)
