Drawing on art, artifacts and literature that was left behind, these richly illustrated volumes recount captivating tales of everyday life in long-ago vanished worlds. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I think that it would be very hard to classify this as a picture book. The text is truly tremendous and the accompanying illustrations were excellent. I certainly look forward to collecting the books in this Time-Life series.
