Among other things, passing around with white gloves Galileo's something something first edition book does not teach me anything. But in general he had a lot of one off examples and interesting pictures, but without a solid and applicable theory behind them.

I have also "read" his books but the only thing that I remember and make use of is the idea of information density on charts.
