Journey to the Past series.
Each of the historical locales featured in this series is given a guidebook-like treatment, with preliminary pages providing basic information on topics such as where to sleep at night and what type of currency to use. Illustrated with mediocre art, double-page spreads introduce various neighborhoods, workplaces, and festivals. The final section includes photographs of some of these areas today. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Journey to the Past titles: Classical Athens, Imperial Rome, Ancient Egypt, Mayan Tikal, Medieval Paris, Florence in the 1400s.]
