Land of misfit books: part 2 of field trip

There was this life sciences book I loved as a child. Published in 1963, it has the most beautiful drawings of aquatic sea life, forest biology including a hibernating bear in its den. It was fascinating and I never really realized how much that book had an effect on me until I picked up a copy of it at the Reanimation Library. All those drawing of aquatic sea life are now things I have seen in real life. I have been to mountains, deserts, and oceans which seemed so far away from the snowy plains and forests that I knew. Later I found out that you could scan the pages of books, but there was a woman there hogging the scanner and gave us the stink eye for even being in the same room as her. Oh temperamental artists in the desert.

We spent time looking at the books. I found a book that helps you fight cellulite. I am eating the wrong diet. Oops.
