Don't make me laugh! Try $15 for it! Time for me to laugh and look at other sellers for a realistic price.

This review is from: Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica: Facsimile of third edition (1726) with variant readings; Vols. 1 and 2. In Latin. (Hardcover)
This is a 'hard-to-read' book. The great mind builds up the world on his simple principles. He does not use his inventions that are now known as differentiation and integration. He only uses Euclid's geometry to build the world upon his three principles, with the majesty like God's. It's not so good as a course book for mechanics. He takes the hard but rigorous way than to take the way that is easy but yet lacks the rigour in his time. The Door to Heaven is narrow and hard to follow. But you can feel how a human mind can be great by just opening this book and look at the scratch of the lion's claw.
