Leonardo Da Vinci by Rh Value Publishing
Impressive (and very heavy) coffee table book of Leonardo's drawings, texts, paintings, mostly in sepia monochrome but a dozen in colour.
$150. Excellent condition.
I'm not as interested in Renaissance politics as I thought I might be, but the diagrams of the solar system according to the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems (both highly complex, with epicycles) are worth keeping the book for. I'm going to shelve it with astronomy.
