Galileo's Library recounts how and why Galileo collected hundreds of books and manuscripts, and how family and fame led to his library's dispersal, forgeries, thefts, and, in a few cases, preservation. Crystal Hall uses data visualizations to uncover details about the importance of print and written materials in shaping his reputation.
