Sobre este artículo
New York: Hyperion, 2001. 368pp, 16pp of color plates, bibliography, index. Cloth-backed papered boards in dust-jacket. Very light edge wear to jacket. Ranging from the excavation of Tutankhamen to tales of ascetic Japanese monks trying to mummify themselves, and from the Russians' attempts to embalm the body of Stalin, the craze for public mummy unwrappings in 19th-century New Orleans, the book demonstrates that our obsession with the preserved dead has a long and bizarre history.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo.

I carry a general stock of approx 70000 titles of which only a small percentage is online. Viewing at my Ashmore bookrooms is welcome by appointment. While not specializing I have a good selection of art, natural history, military and surfing in stock. I also have many other non-fiction subjects, as well as approx 10000 paperback fiction titles on hand.
