A masterpiece of a book
It was the da Vinci code that got me interested in Leonardos work. This book is superb, the pictures are of an excellent quality, the literature is very interesting and the book is a cute little size (can easily fit in your bag). It is a bargain price and a great book to have in anyones collection! Highly recommended to any da Vinci code lovers!! The picture of the Last super spreads over 9 pages and the explanations are riveting!
