Beautiful Book!

Beautiful book! My teenage son had asked for this book several times, but I thought it seemed a bit over-priced. When I saw the price had dropped below the retail value, I hesitantly ordered a copy for him. I had no idea how beautiful the book would be. The photos are vibrant and detailed and contain photos of numerous creatures I had never heard of before. Several of the photos are captioned and the writing is informative, poignant and humorous. The book makes for a beautiful display. In retrospect, I would have paid full price for this treasure.
