Imagine a world without Principia Mathematica, the Rights of Man, Shakespeare or the Mahabharata. This large format hardcover gathers 75 of the most consequential books ever made and shows what each one changed.
The photography gets close enough to matter: Vesalius's anatomical plates, Leonardo da Vinci's annotated notebooks, the hand decorated pages of the Gutenberg Bible, the Aubin Codex on the Aztecs and the early Spanish colonial period in Mexico. Religious and political cornerstones sit beside On the Origin of Species and the I Ching, all ordered chronologically so you watch human knowledge and the craft of bookmaking grow together.
