For those of you who, like I, are fascinated by the kitten tea parties, bunny schoolhouses, and kitten croquet matches of the undisputed king of Victorian anthropomorphic taxidermy Walter Potter, I have good news! Henceforth, Morbid Anatomy will be distributing the amazing (and very difficult to find!) book Walter Potter and his Museum of Taxidermy <\/span>written and published by collector and taxidermy scholar Pat Morris.<\/p>

There are two versions of the book available: the hardcover (see top image)--which sports a handsome stamped canvas cover and an extra signature of 8 full-color pages--and the paperback (see second image down). Both versions are large scale and lavishly illustrated in full-color with scores of nearly impossible-to-find photographs of Potter's unforgettable works, archival photographs of the early museum, and antique and vintage ephemera related to the museum (see bottom two images for examples; click on image to see larger size). The book is also extremely<\/span> well researched, providing a through biography or Mr Potter, a detailed history of his museum of curious taxidermy, and the stories behind the making of his iconic pieces of anthropomorphic taxidermy.<\/p>

Books can be purchased on Amazon.com; click here<\/a> to purchase the hardcover, which goes for $50, and here<\/a> to purchase the soft cover, which goes for $35. But order quickly: I only have about 8 hardback remaining, and 7 paperback, and these books tend to sell out fast!<\/p>

And one more thing: I am also<\/span> distributing the paperback version of Pat Morris' new book A History of Taxidermy: Art, Science and Bad Taste<\/span><\/a>; you can find out more about this book by clicking here<\/a>. if you are interested in purchasing a copy of this book, you can email me at morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>
