4.0 out of 5 stars Curious Woodcuts of Fanciful and Real Beasts, July 17, 2000
By A Customer
I may never scan the images in this book (too many small lines), but it was worth the price anyway! The pictures are facinating! I can't decise wether it's more fun to look at the fantastic representation of a familiar animal or the crazy combinations of familiar animals. Also part of the fun is that the source of each woodcut is indicated on its page. Definitely worth the price in entertainment value alone!
