University of Glasgow's Book of the Month

Book of the Month is a feature that the University of Glasgow Library has been running for over a decade now. The format is simple, a single book is selected from their collections, written up and accompanied by pictures, maps and photographs scanned from the books. With over a 100 books to select from, it's hard to know where to start, but anywhere is good because they're all lovely. Still, here are a few standouts: Charles Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, Treatises on Engines and Weapons, and The Curious Case of Mary Toft.
