Greetings Fellow Bibliophiles,
Just thought I would mention this new, colourful book entitled "A Parisian Cabinet of Curiosities - Deyrolle" by Louis Albert de Broglie, the present owner of Deyrolle. Very interesting to natural history/insect collectors & those of an artistic bent - a smaller hardcover (14.5 x 23 x 2.5 cm), 220 pgs., in an attractive black slip case. Loads of colourful pictures of natural history displays/numerous taxidermy specimens/various insects & interior of Deyrolle plus informative text on the long history of this iconic (& rare these days) naturalist's shop. Very reasonable price on Amazon (here in Canada only $30.00 CAD [~$23.00USD]). My only minor issue is the small, delicate font used... have to wear the old spectacles to read this one!
John K.
