"The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus" by Owen Gingerich
From BarnesandNoble.com:
Gingrich (astronomer emeritus, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory; and astronomy and the history of science, Harvard U.) examines how an intensely technical 16th-century treatise launched a revolution more profound than the Reformation, and how copies have evolved into million-dollar cultural icons. He also recounts his personal experience producing An Annotated Census of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus (2002).
