Without a shadow of exaggeration, the most beautiful book I've ever laid eyes
on. - Brainpickings.org This folk art collection of wood-cut style illustrations
is so visually compelling, you may want three copies... one to leaf through at
leisure, one to take apart to frame the full-page images, and one to bestow upon
someone special. - SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
Gloriously attractive, endlessly fascinating book. The illustrations of fish,
reptiles, crustaceans and sea birds shine and shimmer; each is as vibrant as it
is meticulous. - Asian Review of Books
Selected as featured title at the TED2012 Bookstore.
