About This Item

This is a fascinating collection of full color reproductions of some of the finest works in the Vatican museums. This book gudies the reader through the public galleries and behind the scenes of these Vatican museums. The editor, Alan Levy, is foreign correspondent of ARTnews magazine.

In Treasures of the Vatican Collections, Levy takes the reader to see Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes being cleaned on a scaffold sixty feet high. He brings us to hear the artisans tell how they restored Michelangelo's Pieta after a crazy man smashed it with a hammer. Levy also brings the reader to meet the teams of nuns who use threads of six thousand different shades, to patch worn but precious tapestries.

The lively text and numerous illustrations of Treasures of the Vatican provide an ideal, guided tour of the Vatican museums.

Terms of Sale

ACP Family Bookstore

Your use of our website(s) constitutes acceptance of our terms of sale. Prices do not include shipping and handling costs. All prices are subject to change at any time without notice.


No returns can be accepted on videotapes, cassettes, CDs, DVDs, special orders, custom printed items, or print-on-demand books. In general, these items cannot be resold.

However, with the explicit approval of ACP's Manager, we may accept returns on regular book orders, within 30 days of the placement of the order, at the sole discretion of ACP, without condition or warranty of any kind.

As is customary with most bookstores, acceptable refunds apply, not to shipping and handling expenses, but only to the purchase price of the book itself. If items of any kind are returned to ACP without our prior permission, no refund whatsoever may be granted. Call or email us first: (708) 331-5485 or acp@acpress.org. No COD returns will be accepted; you are responsible for all costs associated with return shipments.

A Catholic publisher in San Francisco says, "Items are not sold on approval. No returns or exchanges except for damaged or defective products. Problems must be noted within 30 days of receipt of product. Shipping costs will not be refunded."

A Catholic publisher in New Jersey says that refunds are granted for products that are damaged in transit or defective in nature. "No return will be accepted unless it has been approved previously by phone and assigned a return material authorization number."

The policy of ACP is much the same as these and other major Catholic publishers. Of course, if you have received damaged, defective, or incorrectly shipped books or other merchandise, please call or email us for instructions on returns. In all such matters, our goal is your complete satisfaction. We will always do our best for you.
