The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges

2.0

I'm torn about this book. I was expecting a literary piece by Borges, but it turned out to be a sort of dictionary for a small collection of imaginary beings (from other people and cultures).
It does oftentimes provide future reading material for said creatures and somewhat explain their appearance and function, but only a few I found interesting to read about. I'd forgive that and give a higher rating if it was a genuine dictionary with provided images and additional material to give as much insight as possible, but that wasn't the case.
