wow I do believe I love this site
A selection of these images is available as a Dover book, Curious and Fantastic Creatures: 122 Bizarre Beings, ISBN 0486284638
Thanks Stewart. Here's the Dover link or go here for a look inside (first time I've done that. Basta! Can't even take a decent screencap) $6.95.
over here
