4.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of information though not well organized, May 6, 2001

This review is from: The Cemetery Book: Graveyards, Catacombs and Other Travel Haunts Around the World (Paperback)

This volume is dense with information though it's not organized in a way that makes finding specific information effortless. Chapters cover the history of cemeteries, the history in cemeteries, buried body parts, epitaphs and animal cemeteries. No illustrations, but a good bibliography and decent index.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too textbook like, August 1, 2011

This review is from: The cemetery book: Graveyards, catacombs, and other travel haunts around the world (Hardcover)

I really looked forward to getting this book and was disappointed. Way too wordy and I felt like I was reading a textbook. Wouldn't recommend it unless you really like to read a lot of facts and dates. I was looking for something with lighter reading.
