Check out the British Library's fantastic Turning the Pages gallery of the world's most beautiful books. Highlights include Glimpses of Medieval Life from the Luttrell Psalter (above), Lewis Carroll's Original Alice (below), Jane Austen's childhood The History of England (including her sketches), and Leonardo Da Vinci's Notebooks, and lots more.
It's an extraordinary collection, and using Shockwave, you can turn the pages to read the book as it was written by hand. Tools allow you to magnify, translate text, and even listen to the text being read in audio.
