4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful but no Machu Picchu,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The Incas (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful book and well worth the money, but I was inspired to research more about the Incas after a visit to Machu Picchu in Peru. The large book barely dedicates 2 pages to the site which was a little disappointing.It does go into amazing detail about the Incas as a race and I highly recommend it to anyone preparing to visit South America.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great photos and narration about Peru's past,

This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The Incas (Hardcover)
Major cultures covered are Chavin, Nazca, Moche, Chimu, Wari, Tiwanaku, Paracas, Pukara and of course, the Incas. Customs, rituals, artifacts, history, geography and buzzwords are all here. At times material is repeated. Also, sequencing of chapters is not clear. On the whole, though, a delightful read. And the book is encyclopedic too.

Was looking for an easy to read overview of the Inca culture. This was perfect. I was preparing for a trip to Peru and loved the easy to read information and pictures. Also enjoyed reading it again when I returned home. Great coffee table book!
