The Google Book

"The Google Book" (ISBN 0192797352) was written by economist Vincent Cartwright Vickers in 1913 and is said to be a kind of children's monster book about a monster called "Google" that can howl. The book has surrealist illustrations of various fictional birds created by Vickers. "The Google Book" is considered by some to be insight into Vickers's insanity.
