The Spooks, Bestiary.

I came across this book in Waterstones, its a monster index for a series of books. It contains some very nice sketches of what the artist chose to make the creature look like. As an art student i realised it is totally fine to buy a book just because i like the pictures! the creature range from very imaginative creatures to ones we know well like witches an orcs. i think this book would prove very useful for reference and ideas for me for future projects, it is also very interesting to look at.
