Taschen, one of the best artbooks publishers, is 25 years! Yippie and hurah all the way because they are publishing several books for a very interesting price because of this!

The one I bought is a 500 pages and 3,5 kilo book about illuminated manuscripts. It's perfect! It includes the worlds most beautiful illuminations from 400 to 1600. And they didn't forget to include some Arabic books!

There's a lot of info on all of the books too: who commissioned them, where they are now; you can learn all here! They are discussed chronologically, there's color pictures of every single book mentioned and well....it's just a wet dream for any-one interested in illuminated books!

The best thing is: it's only 19,95 Euro!!!!
I wonder what other interesting and cheap books Taschen will publish for it's birthday ;-) => http://www.taschen.com/
