“It's a book about beetles, and also a work of art that I kind of want to display in my living room? The cover is fantastic, and the illustrations throughout are stylish and well-designed. There's a lot of information in here and it's well-presented and interesting, but it is a little difficult to read straight through. I want the whole collection!”
