Books Are Full of Visual Gems: Sea Creatures edition!



It may come as no surprise to the book nerds out there (you know who you are), but the annals of written history are full of visual gems.

When you come across something amazing in a public domain title scanned via our Library Project, you can simply snag the chunk of text or image using our Share this Clip feature in Book Search (). This feature allows you to click and select a section of text from a public domain title with your mouse. Then, simply take the HTML code provided and copy and paste it in to your site or blog (or choose the option to send it to Blogger directly).

After checking out photos of the incredible barreleye fish, deep sea creatures were on my mind today, so I used the Share this Clip feature to pull together this collection. Click any of the images below to view the original book source!
