Title: The Ancient East and Its Story
The ancient east, in this regard, refers to what we now
consider the Middle East. Centering on Egypt, Babylonia, and Assyria, it’s a thick
472 page history tome that makes me glad I stopped doing the ‘read a book all
the way through each week’ project.

| So happy that's done. |
Written by James Baike, it has no publishing date but it was
prior to 1928. How do I know? Cause the book plate on the inner cover states
that this was one of the prizes presented from the Strathcona Trust for good
work in physical exercises for the year 1928-1929.
 |
| Yep, you can be both a winner and a loser. |
This appears to be a standard history textbook and contains a
variety of black and white photographs. However, it also has a handful of
colour plates. The best aspect of it (beyond functioning as an effective
doorstop, anyway) are the pseudo-deckle pages that are uniformly miscut.
 |
| Riddle me this... |
 |
| Colour makes everything better. |
After three weeks abroad in Asia, though, reading more about
any parts of Asia seems like overkill.
