[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 183053, member: 1131"] Greetings! You did Mmadsen? How on earth did you ever find the book? Let me see...Quest For The Past, Reader's Digest, Copyright 1984. Gold embossed faux leather hardcover, 320 pages. Contents (1) Early Man; 100,000 BC-- 4000 BC (2) The Ancient World; 4000 BC-- 600 BC (3) The Classical World; 800 BC-- AD 500 (4) The Medieval World; AD 450-- AD 1500 My copy is in mint condition, and it still has that "New Book" scent! Even though I refer to it almost as often as one of the D&D rule books, I handle it with care, as it is indeed a beautiful book. Not so much for the drawings and the sheer size--for there are many that are superior in depth of knowledge, or number of drawings or artwork--but this beautiful book has compiled such a broad range of historical details, picked from a variety of cultures and regions, spanning the centuries, all within one book. I suppose that is its greatest strength. I love this book! I hope you too, Mmadsen, shall enjoy it as much as I do! Where did you get it from? And, if I may ask, how much was the price?:) I consider it highly likely that you will indeed love this book, Mmadsen!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
