Carol L. Lawton is the Ottilia Buerger Professor of Classical Studies at Lawrence University.
Marbleworkers in the Athenian Agora is a worthy addition to the Agora Picture Book series. It is concise, informative, and full of color photographs, the like of which rarely appears in more specialized publications. Academic teachers will be happy to add this booklet to their lists of bibliography, and interested students will find in it more than enough to spark their interest in Greek and Roman sculpture and the Athenian Agora. (Nassos Papalexandrou Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
