The Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich—The most famous and popular art book ever written (it has sold over 7 million copies in the past 50 years!) used to weigh in at 3.5 pounds with 668 pages, but the classic has been transformed into a handy pocket edition with text printed in black on off-white bible paper to reduce the bulk of the pages.
