 The book is well made and i didn't notice any errors. There are black and white drawings throughout, in fact the majority of the book is taken up by anatomical studies.

 The first part of the book is The Resurrectionist (pages 11-65) proper a story involves one Dr. Spencer Black and his biography. Who believed that beings from mythology were in fact real advances in human evolution.

 The second part of the book is titled The Codex Extinct Animalia, (pages 66-191) which has a short description of a 'mythological' species and a few pages of detailed anatomical drawings.

The story itself almost seems a little lovecraftian.

 The book is not a novel and is a little short on story. But i do not think that's what it was aiming for. This book is a curiosity. It would be interesting for those interested in Cryptozology, mythology or anatomy.
