More About The Eternal Army: The Terracotta Soldiers of the First Emperor
Being in China for the first time and actually seeing it in person makes this book and its fascinating content even more enjoyable. This book covers many areas that I was not aware of and my private tour guide was excellent but my physical visit was only 6 hours and you can't cover the details and its history in that short of time.... This book helped to answer some questions I had after viewing the Terracotta Warriors exhibit at the Field Museum. I really don't know much about the history of China. This is a cool book with lots of historical information and four jigsaw puzzles built into the middle pages. A great coffee table book and conversation piece as well as educational about it's subject.
