Surprising!

Just thought that this was about the regular Gargoyles figures that one would expect to find any where in Europe only here in America...there's that of course but the nice surprise was the 'new' American styled figures inspired by American Icons thru the 'new' ages of Americana and perhaps a little whimsy.

How about Athletes such as Football player, Soccer players, Discus Throwers? Add in some new animal gargoyles such as Poodles, Pigs, Flower Dogs, AMerican Eagles, American Rattlesnake and a whole lot more.

Many of the pictures are listed with the location(s) where they the picture was taken at, in case one would like to perhaps make a trip to observe these in person (a Gargoyle Vacation?)...

Instead of a Coffee Table book this is more like an End Table book...not too big, not too smnall...not too thick, not too thin...just about right for everyone to hold, read or just plain look at...

Quite enjoyable.
