Rabelais & Dante was Re: Books on my shelf

The web is not solely concerned with information, commerce, communication,
and collective understanding, so I'd like to mention another one or two,
beautiful illustrated books. Whilst each is a great personal asset, they
could equally well adorn the web:

One I keep next to the perl camel, right in the centre of my brand
new(period) ercol* free-standing bookshelves.
It is a very lovely edition of 'The Works of Rabelais' illustrated by Heath
Robinson and published by The Navarre Society.
These 2 volumes are available for $95:
http://www.moesbooks.com/catalogs/ILLUST.HTM and well worth the price.

Another for those of a more macabre sensibility is Dante's 'La Divina
Commedia' illustratd by Boticelli and published by The Nonesuch Press. It is
very much more expensive, but still great value at $650:

In the meanwhile Scott will have to stand in.
