          I found this book for sale at a Five Below store. I don't normally think of books when I go there but they had quite a few there; this being one of them. It did not cost a lot of money. I do not know if they still have them at their store or at their website. I am glad I bought it when I did.           I have found this to be quite informative and the illustrations to be done quite well. I have learned a lot from reading this book. It might not be an in depth book on mushrooms but it does provide quite a lot of information on mushrooms.           Even the back of the book is really nice and colorful. I have learned a lot about mushrooms; which ones are edible, which ones are inedible, ones that can make you sick and others that are toxic. One should read this book to know that not all mushrooms (most of which aren't) are edible.  The Duck Duck Go search results for The Little Book of Mushrooms .           Places where one can get it.          One can get it at Amazon

          I found some cool looking fantasy banknotes on eBay for Pitcairn. I think they are really neat looking and very well done. It feels like real money.          It was up for auction / sold by Banknotes Stamps Coins  (they have other things for sale / up for bids - which includes the fantasy banknotes for Pitcairn) on eBay.          I believe Pitcairn is an island that is in a remote location. Wikipedia - Pitcairn . I don't believe they have their own money but if it did, it should look like the above (which is cool - in my opinion).          Pitcairn Islands on Banknote World . It seems they don't have their own currency.  Pitcairn Islands banknotes are collectible ? (interesting article - by World Banknotes Catalogue ).          Perhaps there was a Pitcairn Islands banknote? Here is a link to an article at Numista that shows their banknotes.  From the Numista site. I think the fantasy banknotes look nicer; in my opinion.  

          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really nice. It has a photo of George Washington Carver.          One can also get it at Amazon  (Amazon link). They have a pretty good price

  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a

  I have come across some fantasy banknotes on eBay . I used the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' and come across quite a few. The ones I like are the ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them.  I think they are cool looking and are well done. They seems to feel like the current banknotes from Europe.  These are Redonda Island ones. At first I thought it was a made up place but it does exist. I don't know if they have their own money or not but it would be cool if it looked like these.  As one can see, there is a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I think it is a nice picture. It is one of the reasons I bought them. I believe this is the front of the banknote. Here is the back of them. I try to get two sets of them but I only got one of these. I think it was reasonably priced; especially for the quality of what one got.  I have a list of sites that sell fantasy banknotes. It is in my blog about Aldabra Islands. 

  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post about Aldabra Islan
