This review is from: Madder Red: A History of Luxury and Trade (Caucasus World) (Hardcover)
I didn't have the problem of the previous reviewer. I received a good and clean copy. Now, to the book and its content. It is a remarkably well researched and well written book, with copious and helpful illustrations, glossary, appendices, notes, bibliography, and index. It basically presents and discusses all aspects of the subject madder (pun intended), from myth to history, through botany, agronomy, technology, and economy. Highly recommended to scholars, professionals, as well as interested individuals.
