Reviews
It is more or less the exposition's catalogue. Pictures of the pieces shown (and the pieces themselves) are excellent, but the texts are rather for the general public and somewhat lack technical precision.
This book is plenty with beautiful pictures and good explanations regarding important Peruvian pre-columbian archeological pieces. A good addition to my collection on this subject.
