I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Exquisite full color plate illustrations on a quality weight paperback. I especially enjoyed the "the story" of the written languages and was surprised to learn some preconceptions I had were in error. This is a book on my coffee table that I will pick up again and again. My best Paperback Swap Purchase ever! Thank you.
