Review
Splendidly illustrated . . .a standard reference work.
It would not be easy to name a better guide . . . than Chippindale's very welcome study of Stonehenge through the ages.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 296 pages with frontispiece, two page pictorial title, figures, drawings, maps, illustrations, photographs and index. Quarto (10 1/4" x 7 3/4") bound ibn original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. People have puzzled over Stonehenge for centuries, speculating and dreaming about it, drawing and painting it, trying to make sense of it. Here is the story of the one real Stonehenge, as well as the many unreal Stonehenges that archaeologists, tourists, mystics, astronomers, artists, poets, and visionaries have made out of it. New studies in the past decade have revolutionized our knowledge of the complex sequence of structures that make its celebrated profile, in particular indicating that the monument is decidedly older than was once thought. Moreover, as Christopher Chippindale shows, we now know that the main alignment at Stonehenge was not in fact on midsummer sunrise but rather on midwinter sunset. Condition: Jacket edge wear with tears and small chips else very good in like jacket. Seller Inventory # A2391
