I went to a bookseller today :33 it was awesome, his shop was filled books and there were shelves everywhere it was so so so cool (didn't have my phone on me so I didn't take pics ://). We were there just before closing time so there was not a lot of ppl it was AWESOME.
And then I found this book!!



It's soo beautiful, it was published in 1880 but its so well preserved im very grateful :33!
For the non-french speakers, this book is titled: Strange Animals (or peculiar animals) and it's a little encyclopedia making the list of a lot of animal species. Lots of them are marine or abyssal animals but its still very diverse (sea sponges, acalephes (basically jellifishes), gasteropods and sooo much more).
It's evidently outdated because, its from the 19th and it's not the most thorough work from that time either, but there's still a LOT of informations and there's truly beautiful illustrations on almosy every page.
Giving y'all a few examples :33 :




Anyways that's all for me, i'm so so happy that I now own this book and so excited to read it and learn new things!!!
