There is a book that is much less expensive ($61 hardback) that must be in the spirit of Arnold. At least it is dedicated to Arnold with a nice picture of him in the front and probably done by authors who were students of his. It is: Dimitry Fuchs & Serge Tabachnikov, "Mathematical Omnibus: Thirty Lectures on Classic Mathematics". It could be ordered from Amazon or from The American Mathematical Society bookstore. It would be great subject matter for seeing how Mathematica capabilities could enhance the material.
