An Explanation of the Gnomonic Projection of the… door Augustus De Morgan
Bound with 'The Globes: Celestial and Terrestrial'; price for both
Bound with 'An Explanation of the Gnomonic Projection of the Sphere'
A long catalog of books where the authors were wrong ( gravitation does not exist, the exact value of pi is 3 and one eighth, the moon has nothing to do with tides) or, less commonly, the author was so far ahead of their time that they were thought wrong. De Morgan also produced a more conventional bibliography - Arithmetical Books. Budget of Paradoxes is very entertaining.
