Imported from Italy, this astonishing English-language hardback book describes and illustrates everyday life in ancient Pompeii in full color with a patented system of cut-out overlays. It also includes an English language DVD featuring a virtual tour with lavish computer graphics. The book is designed with a patented system that allows the reader to compare ancient Pompeii and its present day ruins by lifting special overlay pages which have beautifully cut custom cut-outs. These custom overlays show lush illustrations of ancient life and their cut-out 'windows' reveal the site's surviving architectural features from the site's present-day photo, which is underneath. More than a dozen such overlays show the most famous sites in the city, before and today. A detailed fold-out 3D map of the ancient city shows a bird's-eye view of the ancient city. On the next page, you'll find a plan of the site as it is today. Herculaneum is also given several pages. The lush illustrations and photographs in this book alone would make it worth having in your collection. Add the amazing before-and-after overlays and it is a book not to be missed. Planning a trip to Pompeii? Take this with you; you won't be disappointed. Includes DVD: 79 A.D.: Pompeii - Herculaneum, A Virtual Tour
