A gorgeous book!

I bought this book for my two young granddaughters and was thoroughly entranced with it myself. It is brimming with lush drawings and fascinating information about this wonderful historic place. Definitely worth the price. More than just a coffee table book. Beautifully rendered.

3-D compliment to Masters of Rome Series

Spent the fall reading all seven volumns of Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series and this a delightful compliment to that reading and enchanted the child with-in. The the clever pop-ups and enhancement of a holiday treat to myself - it is something I take out of the draw (and put the cats in another room) and can loose myself in this book for many special moments.

In AD 79, Italy?s Mount Vesuvius erupted and volcanic ash, lava, and rubble blanketed the Roman city of Pompeii. For nearly two thousand years, the city and its secrets remained buried, until modern excavations revealed the city had been incredibly well-preserved. The Pompeii Pop-Up is a sumptuous, six-spread pop-up book that builds a three-dimensional picture of Pompeian life before the disaster; it examines the events of that fateful day and the resultant destruction; and it shows how the innovative archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli unveiled the hidden city. Pop-ups include a bustling Pompeii street scene, a reproduction of a Roman villa with a cutaway to its interior, Mount Vesuvius in full eruption, and a view into how an excavation is conducted. Booklets, gatefolds, and a pull-out tray of Pompeii collectables and recreations, such as a wearable gladiator mask and a Roman amphitheater allow the reader to enjoy the intriguing aspects of Ancient Roman culture, and Pompeii and its political, commercial, and cultural climate under Roman rule.
Replete with detailed three-dimensional pop-ups, realistic illustrations, and informative and lively text, The Pompeii Pop-Up dynamically recounts the story of a thriving city tragically and quickly extinguished.
