as you can see, there has been some effort there invested, so do buy your copy if you can and support the publisher.
meanwhile, since accessibility of the book is very small and more or less limited to belgrade and its surroundings, we believe that its content is too important to collect dust in any corner of the planet, so we are now releasing a free version of the book, available for download here at this page and from other places over a vast network.
the name of the file to download and search would be: aleksandar.opacic.-.tajna.paukove.krvi.300dpi.2007.KNET0122.pdf (71MB pdf, 55 pages in 300dpi)
and here it is also as a public torrent to share: aleksandar.opacic.-.tajna.paukove.krvi.300dpi.2007.KNET0122.pdf.torrent
note about the author, from the original book announcement: (in serbian only, sorry)
Aleksandar Opačić, Kosmolac, 1973. Slepi čovek-šišmiš, Kosmoplovac, profesor Studio-stripa, duboko u trećoj dimenziji (3d animacija, grafika, kamera). Po potrebi glavu zamenjuje
kamerom, a telo teškim metalom, uglavnom crnim. Učitelj crtanja izbačen
zbog nepopustljivog stava prema učenicima/cama ("Sva su deca zaslužila
petice"), nastavnik izbačen zbog nepoštovanja nastavnog plana i
programa, te sprovodjenja sopstvenog. Sa fakulteta izbačen zbog
nepojavljivanja. Prosvetitelj-vizionar, trenutno zaokupljen oblikovanjem
vizelnog identiteta Elektromreže Srbije, ali neće još dugo, jer strip
je bio i biće mu prioritet. Zbog interesovanja kako sopstvenih tako i
nemalog broja njegovih poštovalaca, kolega, životnih saputnika i
sledbenika, ovaj usamljenik sa ivice svih provalija, moralnoetičkih,
stručnoprofesionalnih, ostaje istinski vernik grafičkog kazivanja, u
ovom nesretnom svetu, nespretno nazvanom stripom. Još koja godinica...
