Everyone has seen tourist backdrops, wherein tourists insert their faces to be photographed in a humorous context. The precise name for these eludes me.
This book for creepy weirdos has a variety of backdrops on each page with a strategically placed cut-out. Said weirdos can sit anonymously in public
places holding the book in front of them. Once they have identified their desired target, and a backdrop that appeals to them, they move the book so that the face of the unsuspecting person is placed into the context of the page.
Once the face has been scaled to the page, weirdos can enjoy the illusion of control they have over others.

Thinking you'll get more mileage making the backdrops humorous and targeting this to children. or maybe I'm ust a creepy weirdo. |

Get your face off my page, you, you, you... interposeur! |

As great as this sounds, how are you going to isolate each page so that you can see through the hole? I mean, if you're sitting there with your book covers all bent backwards and a single page stretched in front of your face as you peer through it... well, let's just say your not fooling anyone, and you might wanna just go back to touching yourself. Until the exact mechanics are worked out: [+/-]. Excellent idea though. |

I figured there was a hole through the middle, [daseva], or the backgrounds where arranged to have the head somewhere directly over the top of the page. |

[+] Does it have to be called the "Creepy Weirdo Book"? Why not the "socially inept but otherwise really great guy once you get to know him book"? |

I'd like that car in Creepy Weirdo Bookcover Camouflage Fleshtone Pink please. |
|
| |
What does the victim see if he glances at the book (with wierdo's face showing through the hole)? |
|
| |
Probably a creepy weirdo. |
|
| |
Needs a better name, but otherwise ++
(I'm allowed an extra croissant, but no one
else is) |

Right up till the end, I had a horrible feeling about the purpose of the hole in that book. |
