A gem Of A Book

Journey To The Moon is a gem of a book. It combines sage words of Plato parelled with illustrations of Gustav Dore's labor intensive engravings. The two elements work beaurifully together. This book is a vestige of a gone era - a time of creativity and new hope that has vanished as certainly as has the Summer of Love. I still return to this little volume from time to time and reflect on its wisdom and beauty.

A perfect selection of Gustave Dore's finest engravings

This book is small (6"x7"). But, Oh so wonderful. With each quote from Plato is an image from one of the most talented illustrators of the 19th Century. Dore's illustrations have such depth and detail they just about pull you into the page to experience the soul of the artist. I have seen this book with very clean reproductions and without. A must have for any Dore collector. Victor Osaka
