hypertext on celestial cartography


I have written an hypertext on the history of celestial cartography
in the period 1500-1850. The complete work contains almost 500 images
reproduced from atlases and maps and it is available both in english
and in italian edition.
Celestial cartography is a grand synthesis of myth, art and science.
The atlases published by Bayer, Cellarius, Hevelius, Flamsteed, Bode
and others are been able to conciliate the increasing demand of
scientific exactness and the taste of symbolic and artistic
representation of the starry sky better than any other printed book.
I'm not a publisher, but a single writer without editorial staff. 
I started this work as my hobby, but 
now I think that many researchers in astronomy or history of astronomy
could be interested to have a copy of this hypertext.
The cost of the hypertext is 90,000 Italian Lire (about 50 USD or 30
GBP or 300 FRF) and includes the shipping charges of the cd-rom.
The system requirements for the installation are the following:
PC Windows with processor 386 or higher
Ram 4 Mb or higher (8 Mb recommended)
Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
Cd-rom drive 2x or higher
Video card 256 colors (64K recommended)
I can accept two forms of payment:
- cash payment by ordinary letter (50 USD or 30 GBP or 300 FRF) at the
buyer's risk;
- international postal order in my favour.
