The Illustrated Body

I can't go shopping for presents without buying something for myself. I'm kinda selfish like that, but hey we all deserve the odd treat right? Anyways, I went Christmas shopping the other day and wandered into the sadly closing Borders, and came out with a half price book on the illustrated history of Human Anatomy. It is AMAzing. It's curiously gruesome, and I can't stop flicking through...kind of like when you drive past a car crash on the motorway and you know you shouldn't look, but you just can't stop looking! Anywho, I am fascinated by all the beautiful drawings of the inner-most workings of the human body.
