Spurred by Arthur Koestler's The Sleepwalkers, which portrayed Copernicus as a villain and his magnum opus De revolutionibus “the book that nobody read”—“an all time worst seller”, followed by the discovery of an obviously carefully read and heavily annotated first edition in the library of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, Scotland, the author, an astrophysicist and Harvard professor of the history of science, found himself inexorably drawn into a quest to track down and examine. This book sets out to prove its title is wrong and that Copernicus' book which Arthur Koestler called 'The book nobody read' was in fact thoroughly studied by many people. Owen Gingerich very interestingly chronicles the years of travel and research which he put into viewing every surviving copy of the two 16'th century editions of "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres".
