The coolest flip-book on ancient Rome,
By
This review is from: Frommer's Rome Past & Present (Spiral-bound)
When I was in Rome I kept looking for something like this book.Most of the ones I found in english were really disappointing. The good ones were all too big, way too expensive, and often in Italian. Finaly a good one at a reasonable price, and available here!
