Leonardo Da Vinci needs no introduction. An exceptionally curious and intelligent person, an inventor, engineer and a painter par excellence - all rolled into a single persona. In this highly interesting and remarkable biographical work, master biographer Walter Isaacson has tried to explore and analyze various known and unknown aspects of the extraordinary life and personality of Leonardo Da Vinci. His research, presentation and narration are outstanding - and quite entertaining too. Isaacson demystifies a highly complex individual and his eventful life with notable simplicity, ease and intelligence.
This hardcover edition of the book is printed & produced in Italy - and in itself is a work of art. Superior production and print quality makes going through the book a pleasant experience. Many paintings, sketches and photographs are incorporated on the pages of this remarkable biography by an equally remarkable author.
A very highly recommended book to all the admirers and enthusiasts of Fine Arts & Science.

The page quality of this book is just stunningly amazing,never had a book having such good quality pages.
I bought it for 799 and this is the most costly book I ever bought apart from my academic books,but I would say it's okay to pay that price, because it's quality is amazing and the content is invaluable.
Can't wait to read this book.
Amazing
But as good as the book is,the delivery was a bit rough, because the book got a dent and it's not expected from Amazon,they packagded it well in a plastic bag,but did not put it into a cardboard box,and that's why it got a dent.
I should say you should read this book...

GREAT SERVICE
By Vivian Vandingliana on 19 January 2019
I really wanna thank Amazon for delivering this book today, as I really admire about invention and innovation I'm sure the books gonna be good, The Paper Quality, and the cover of the Book is superb, It's really cheap for the price I paid, I think the thickness of this book might be around one ream. And about the service, I personally wanna thank these Amazon Associate Viz : Bharat, Sangita, Nishant and Rajat, Since the purchase is a Big price for a student like me I was worried it would be lost along the way, and since I'm really eager to read the book, I pestered them with a loads of questions about the where about of the parcel, they Patiently and happily answered my questions and tell me not to worry, which really console me. The package is also great with 4 layer of cover, ( The book is Covered with flim) It's a great service for me Amazon. You have new future regular Customer.
