Knossos- A Complete Guide to the Palace of Minos,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knossos - A Complete Guide to the Palace of Minos (Ekdotike Athenon Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I read Archeology Magazines and Minoans were mentioned so I sent for 'Knossos' to learn more. Quality is what I look for in reading matter.
My book arrived in wonderful condition and I am able to share it with other family members. This makes ones conversation more interesting when with a group, something other than string beans and babies. 'Amazon' is my best friend when it comes to reading. I can travel the world with the books Amazon can supply me, up to date I cannot fault them in anyway. I love to study my books and let my mind wander at times, imagining I am living in that period and what it is like, this is a great tool for creative writing, Fact, mingled with fiction. I am more than 3/4 of a centry old and went to school to get my leaving age 62 then and used this method for my assignments, I miss those days and the vibrant young people.
