Bibliophilic

Though I'm following BibliOdyssey for almost a year now,  with every new post I'm still amazed by vast variety of subjects people wanted to write books about and how many of them became obsolete with invention of mass production,  (digital) photography and internet. 

From another book oriented blog BookNerd I found out about weird but fascinating online exhibition Making Visible Embryos, which shows how people imagined embryo would look like and how it was used to educate viewers or teach them a moral lesson. 

P.S. Until today I wasn't aware of that "absolete" is rather modern adjective which, according to urbandictionary.com, is defined as  mix of obsolete and absolute.
