<DIV>You can get it on Amazon for about thirty dollars less than the sale price at the Met Store, though ...</DIV>

<DIV>There's a 19th century French edition on Google Books, but the illustrations have all been redone -- but it still shows the range of funky illustrations Vecellio included. :-)</DIV>
