I’m looking for help finding the best books on folklore creatures and tales from various regions.
Ideally, I’d like books that stay true to the oldest forms of the stories and, if I’m lucky, provide some historical and cultural context as well.

I figure I won’t find a single book that compiles all of that--especially for all the regions I’d like covered--so I’m happy to build a collection from a list of titles.

Regions I'd like to cover:

- North America
- Central America
- UK
- Eastern Europe
- Africa

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

A friend of mine is a LEO and his bday is a few weeks away. He burns through cheaper pairs of gloves on the job. He's also a fan of watches.

I'm looking for

1 - suggestions for a durable, quality set of gloves that can protect against needles and cuts, while also being supple enough for him to handle his kit and firearm smoothly. (Edit: finally remember the type he spoke of; I'm ideally searching for good turtleskin gloves)

Or

2- Stylish, subtle watch that can take a beating (vintage Casio, metallic G-Shock and wide variety of Seiko's are his style).

Thanks in advance!
