Last night, we went to the big city and did a bit of shopping. I needed to get Virginia some socks, and there were a few other things on our list. We ended up in Barnes and Noble (of course), and I found this book for John Thomas. He loves history, atlases and information about the great cities. This book seemed to have it all.
The author, John Julius Norwich is not only an historian, but has had quite a celebrated life. He served in the British Foreign Service and is a member of the House of Lords. He was also a BBC personality.
In any case, John Thomas loves all of the marvelous pictures, maps and artwork that make up this handsome book.
Sounds like an interesting book!
