About This Item
Used book may have markings, writing from the previous owner. Very little bumping, rubbing, creasing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. The Library of Alexandria, one of the wonders of the Ancient World, has haunted Western culture for over 2,000 years. The Ptolemaic kings of Egypt—successors of Alexander the Great—had a staggering ambition: to house all of the books ever written under one roof, and the story of the universal library and its destruction still has the power to move us. 1990. U17.
