John Sill.
In this introductory book, fifteen finely detailed watercolor plates of different arachnids command the reader's attention. Each facing page contains a short sentence or phrase that gives a key bit of information about that arachnid. At book's end, small black-and-white reproductions of the plates are offset by additional facts. The result is an information-rich book with an elegantly uncluttered main text.
