I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
Wow, this book took awhile for me to get through. So much interesting information that I had to read only a few sections per sitting if I had any hope of retaining what I read.
I found the objects chosen to be very interesting, the photography beautifully executed and the writing to be very concise and accessible. I caught myself thinking "you can't know that! you're just guessing!" more than a few times as the author tried to speculate with what felt like a lot of imagination, about some of the objects.
Overall, though, this is a great book and one that I will refer back to again and again over time.
