The second book is called "Creature", which I did have time to peruse while home for the holidays. The book showcases some amazing animal photography.

There are no interviews and few words in "Creature." In fact, many of the pages adjacent to the photos are blank. The cool thing about the book is that the photos aren't of the typical wildlife variety. They are portraits of some familiar (and not-so-familiar) animals that bring out the coolest and grossest details that most likely go unseen by the average eye. Here are some shots from the book of a baboon, owl and rooster. You have to see them in person to get the full effect.



Both are really amazing books, but I spent a good hour going creature-by-creature through this particularly huge book. If you're interested in animals or photography you should definitely get your hands on a copy of "Creature", or at least stop by and look at the one in my living room.
