[ 5.0 stars ] "I have several books on Pompeii and Herculaneum. This was by far the best of the bunch. I know quite a bit about this fallen city, but I still learned many new things, such as that there were skeletons in the baths where people had climbed onto the shelf presumably to escape whatever was rising from the floor. I especially enjoyed reading about what items were found in which houses. I would love t ..." Courtesy by Amazon

Some are blurry. But it's not a site guide. Highly recommended. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Besides the usual detail related to the uncovering, this author does an excellent job of tieing the structures to the actual life of the citizens of Herculaneum prior to the envelopement. For example, using discovered documents he has a chapter describing the lawsuit described in those documents. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
