I've recently become obsessed with the amateurish woodcarvings and colorings from this 1493 incunabulum, one of the best documented early printed books. The wiki says that "approximately 400 Latin and 300 German copies survived into the twenty-first century," but apparently Taschen published a hardcover color reproduction in 2001. MUST GET MY HANDS ON IT but have yet to find it. For now though, I'm keeping busy with the full online one at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. Just wish I read latin.
