The following list are books devoted to curiosities of particular regions, and for the most part fall into two groups - the 'Curiosities of..' books from SB Publications, and the'..Curiosities' from Dovecote Press. Each of these books is by a different author, therefore they vary in style and content - some may have very few follies, but lots of church monuments and market crosses, others may be largely follies. They tend to go out of print after about five years, so very few are actually in print at present, although you may well still find them in local bookshops or on ebay. Where I have a link for a supplier, you may click on the title to see the supplier's website.
