Regarding the observation, “although the excavated remains of Herculaneum are generally better preserved than Pompeii’s, there has never been a lavish, folio-sized, full-color volume of the coffee-table type on Herculaneum—until now. Herculaneum: Art of a Buried City” (the 2012 volume under review), I challenge. What about Wallace-Hadrell’s 2011 Herculaneum: Past and Future? Or, perhaps, is this volume too scholarly and serious to count as a volume “of the coffee-table type”?
Nevertheless the review indicates this is a worthy volume worthy of my purchase. I’m guessing both volumes would go nice together on my coffee table–if only I had one.
