A wonderful collection of oddest and most unusual books. Brilliantly illustrated with scans and photos of the books, this is a joy to read for bibliophiles.

This book is filled with beautiful artwork and the history behind the objects are very interesting. I gave this book 5 stars because i did really enjoy this book. And yes you can eat this book with a spoon [not really]
