If all you know about Galileo is the little you may half-remember from high-school, then you may be surprised to learn how much this man accomplished in his lifetime.
I was intrigued, but ended up passing up on this one when it was $1.99. As much as I'd like to, I just can't afford every book that looks interesting, even those that are marked way down like this one was (too, I buy so many books now that it's impossible for me to ever read all of them!). I read (or maybe just skimmed over) some of the reviews for the book when I initially saw it posted, but if somehow I had been able to read what you had written in your post above, I would have probably bought it then.

There is a website that I know of where I can set a price alert. I think that I'm going to set a price alert for $1.99, and if and when the price drops back down to that again I will know about it and maybe grab it then.

Thanks.
