Beautifully printed collection of images, with one minor flaw

This is a beautiful volume. Well organized, perfectly laid out, and interesting and well-written copy for each plate. Though out of print, it seems to always be available used. The one minor flaw is that on every plate from Andreas Cellarius's Harmonia Macrocosmica, the typesetters mistyped it as "HarmoniCa Macrocosmica". Too bad they didn't have a better proof reader. Despite that, I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of classic depictions of the universe.
