I saw this book floating around the interwebs last year, but since my book wish list is about 200-ish deep I forgot all about it until I was in Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago, begging me to pick it up off the book shelf.

And it does not disappoint.

Julia Rothman is a city girl that falls in love with a farm boy.  Every time they went to the family farm in Iowa, they brought back a little piece of the farm with them from rhubarb to scrap wood.

Julia beautifully illustrates everything from heavy duty farm equipment,

To edible flowers,

With a some animal breeds pepper through out.

If you have not picked up Farm Anatomy yet, the beautiful illustrations make it worth the price.  While I was paging through it, I thought of a city boy that I know.  I may have to get him a copy.

PS Sorry my pictures are a little blurry!
