1.		Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence from Vintage Books Customer Review: There must have been something in the water in Florence, Italy during the 13, 14, and 1500's... the amount of genius that city has produced continues to stagger the imagination: Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonerotti, ... and now (I discover) Brunelleschi.

2.		Michelangelo and The Pope's Ceiling from Pimlico Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

6.		Ex-Libris from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Execrable crap tries to cash in on historico-literary mystery boom and fails in a morass of bad writing, over writing, bleeding into a pool of undigested facts, names, and dates. Don't bother. You won't care what happens to the characters, and the mystery as much as it makes sense, is a dud.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
