Then and Now: The Wonders of the Ancient World Brought to Life in Vivid See Through.............

Packaging was not very good and binding on book was lose or partially off, had to fix.

Ideal gift for my brother who enjoys and basks in Egyptian History. To see what the ancient wonders would have looked like in their prime, is a joy for any young mind!

A man loaned this book to a friend of mine. She immediately ordered it and showed it to me. I immediately ordered it also. I used this book to teach a children's class today. One of the parents saw it and had me order them a copy. I especially enjoy the pictures of places I have visited. To see how these places could have looked originally with the artist's renders overlaying the current pictures is amazing. Great teaching tool for adults as well as children. As they say, "a picture is worth 1,000 words."

A unique book for lovers of ancient civilizations. The acetate overlays restore present day photographs of ruins to their original colorful glory, as they might have looked back then. Anyone who has ever picked this book up off my coffee table has loved it. The acetate overlays bring back nostalgic memories of browsing through the Britanica as a child.
