Reader's note

If you are a nature lover then behold this intricately illustrated first edition King Penguin book of spiders--a gem among a bounty of out of print rare books and decorative Penguin books on our vintage bookstore!

'Spiders are a matter of taste. There will be few so fond of them as the 'great lay still living' who, as described by the Rev. E. Topsell, in 1607, 'will not leave off eating them'. Indeed the death of Professor J. Ross of Aberdeen University in 1777 from the effects, it was said, of swallowing a spider in his glass of claret supports the old saying that 'one man's meat is another man's poison'.'
