Meanwhile,
Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel is on sale at
Amazon right now for $1.99.
I have this book and found it very interesting.
Funny, I think about he Sistine Chapel and the Vatican and my thought runs to a novel called
Saint Joan, which was nice, so I looked it up: $15 on Kindle, but there is a Charles River pub for $2.99 on the same subject. But for that price you get all of the following, squeezed into 64 pages:
