Beware ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-03-02* This is truly a remarkable collection of manuscripts. My only complaint is the cost. I probably will eventually buy some of them, but it can add up very quickly. The app is well made, organized and attractive. ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2013-11-08, version 1.0* This app brings to life some of the world's most important manuscripts and books, for users to access in their homes in glorious HD. Swiping through Mozart's original manuscript for La Nozze Di Figaro or Leonardo Da Vinci's Codex is mesmerising. To be able to notice the subtle nuances in their writing is to be a part of the intersecting dramatic threads of the psyche of these people - a truly humbling experience which helps to dispel our flatulent culture of arch-mediocrity. Where else would you have access to such priceless works?Download this app and let your anaesthetised consciousness take a battering. Finally an app worth having, I salute you! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-11-07, version 1.0* I downloaded this for a history course I'm doing, it's so detailed I love it. Please make more stuff like this! ## Frequently asked questions about eBookTreasures ### What kind of books can I find on eBookTreasures? eBookTreasures features a collection of original handwritten books and manuscripts from historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Jane Austen, and William Shakespeare.
