Good intro to world mythology
This is a very nice coffee table book by Peter Clayton. It features many beautiful photos of classical art, and descriptions of the major figures from various world mythologies. This book is NOT by Joseph Campbell, however it does include an excerpt from 'Hero With A Thousand Faces' as an introduction.
