3.0 out of 5 stars There really needs to be a new edition, October 14, 2009
This review is from: Baroque and Rococo Pictorial Imagery: The 1758-1760 Hertel Edition of Ripa's Iconologia with 200 Engraved Illustrations (Paperback)
This is an important historical work. This particular edition was much appreciated at the time, but a new quality edition of the work is long overdue. The book isn't really worth what people are asking for it, but its one of those situations where there isn't any other good choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars come on publishers here's your chance, May 15, 2009
This review is from: Baroque and Rococo Pictorial Imagery: The 1758-1760 Hertel Edition of Ripa's Iconologia with 200 Engraved Illustrations (Paperback)
The rights to this book can't be solely owned by Dover, and if they are, why doesn't Dover reprint this book. It's a Dover paperback, cheaply made, but oh so expensive.
