Scroll down to see more illustrations from the Golden Treasury of Natural History.
Rick says he always liked the pictures of dinosaurs. He said this one makes him think of potato chips.
I, on the other hand, am a sucker for maps and charts, like these.
Or illustrations of the life cycle of plants, like this one.
But the inside cover has the grooviest pictures.

I still have my copy from when I first received it back in the early 80’s. Yep, I spent hours looking at this book as a kid. They don’t make books like these anymore. The plesiosaur illustration always creeped me out and still does lol. This may sound weird but the book has even retained its “unique” scent all this time.

I have also owned books with a distinct scent that lasts for decades.
