    “"Anatomy of Melancholy is a gorgeous book, and one which seethes with perverse implications - Robert Burton is an important predecessor of the "mad genius"... Furthermore, neither philosophy nor smut is going away any time soon" -Author and artist William E. Jones A beautiful tome and I use it incessantly as a kind of reference/textbook.”
