A marvel of scholarly & pictorial art--Detroit News
This wonderful book is a revelation--Dame Edith Sitwell
Here, in all their wonder & splendor, are the mythologies of humankind--from pre-biblical Egypt & pre-Homeric Greece to the furthest reaches of Africa, the Orient, the Pacific & the Americas--all gathered into one mammoth volume of unprecedented scope & beauty, & illustrated with an incomparable assemblage of authentic paintings, sculpture, symbols, idols, ritual & sacrificial objects, many rarely seen by modern Western eyes.
This monumental work is the 1st complete encyclopedia of world mythology. Originally published in France by the famous house of Larousse, it contains of course all the well-loved myths of Classical Antiquity. But more than half the book is devoted to the strange & unfamiliar mythologies of civilizations other than our own--from Peru to Persia, from Tahiti to Togoland.

Store description
Rare Reads formerly operated a storefront in The Lakewood Antiques Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia but reverted to a strictly online operation when the Gallery closed. In 2006, Rare Reads published "The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music" which received a bronze medal from The Independent Publishers Association. Long sold out, copies of the 13 pound tribute to the musicians who created the unique R&B genre are occasionally available on ABE. The book was a collaborative effort of Rare Reads and many others including the musicians that created the sound Southerns term "Beach Music." Rare Reads is considering future publications in addition to expanding its online enterprise. Rare Reads is operated by Greg Haynes and son Reid Haynes and has warehouses in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia.
