Frankensteinriffic!

If you’d like to have an insider’s view of how the body works, then you should go and check out Dr. Frankenstein’s Human Body Book by Richard Walker. It even has a really cool holographic cover! It’s like stepping inside Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory and watching him create a human being! It has all these really detailed illustrations and descriptions of how the body works. I truly enjoyed reading it so I hope you’ll take some time to check it out yourself.
