Ever wonder how a first‑edition book could be turned into a mechanical sculpture that tells its own story?

Imagine a little brass spine that unspools like a tape measure, each page a tiny gear that turns and whispers the story, while tiny eyes on the cover blink with every word, all powered by a clockwork heart hidden in the dust jacket—just a bit of tinkering, a sprinkle of imagination, and voilà!

That would make for a great exhibit in the weird‑and‑wonder section, but I’d need a cataloger’s notebook to keep track of the gears and the blinking cadence—otherwise it’s just a fancy, eye‑banging novelty.

Oh, a cataloger’s notebook! Picture a pocketful of tiny gears etched on the pages, each one labeled with a click‑clack rhythm and a tiny drawing of the gear’s role. That way the whole sculpture keeps its story on track, and you’ll always know which gear makes the eyes blink—no more mystery, just pure, organised wonder.

Nice idea—just don’t forget to number the gears so I can keep the whole thing in chronological order. The only problem is that if a tiny gear falls out, it’ll be a story in itself, and I’ll have to catalog the missing part before the narrative can resume.
