Even though it is 20 years old, this book is a real treasure. It sharpens the eye and help where you do not know what to do. The illustrations are so beautiful to look at, almost every animal treated additionally as a "caricature" (I would rather say cartoon) shown. What I really miss in the book are birds, especially parrots. But I would not dare, so subtract a point. For the complete works is just too good.
