This is another book review from Lark! Woof! This one gets 5 tail wags from this pupper! This was a wonderful book full of oddities as the title states. This was very interesting to read and I enjoyed it so much I didn't even ask for my treat last night!!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this unique book!
A wonderful exploration of the world of Oddities and the story that aligns with each one. Each chapter of the book is filled with gripping stories of the lore and world of Oddities.
This story drips with passion and hard work for the love of creating and replicating Oddities. This book should be sold at the Oddities Expos around the world! It literally starts from the bottom, and only goes up from there! I especially liked hearing about the Proposal in the Catacombs (lol). Ryan explains the history and cultural significance behind prominent pieces as well as processing and care for the craft of collecting, preparing, and creating art that can come from all kinds of oddities. This book debunks myths about oddities as well as how to spot fakes, in some cases.
“You never know what you’ll find—even in your own collection”

A phenomenal book! Full of interesting photographs of antiques and oddities, as well as the histories of those items and personal anecdotes.

The cover immediately reminded me of Dr. Mutter's Marvels. I think it will be a perfect addition to my collection, because I absolutely love books like this.
