Can Someone Recommend a Good Book on Mythical Creatures?

Like an encyclopedia. I want something with a good sized list and details, preferably with pictures. It'd be best if it's sold on Amazon or Barns and Noble. Thank you!Can Someone Recommend a Good Book on Mythical Creatures?

Jorge Luis Borges wrote and edited the Book of Imaginary Beings in 1957 as the original Spanish Manual de zoolog铆a fant谩stica, or Handbook of Fantastic Zoology, expanding it in 1967 and 1969 to the final El libro de los seres imaginarios. The English edition, created in collaboration with translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni, contains descriptions of 120 mythical beasts from folklore and literature.
