Disappointing 21 Nov 2009

By Francesca Vanderbilt - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is full of photos, but lacks substantial information on death on any one culture and instead, breezes over "factual" information of several cultures. This book is a waste of money if you are hoping to add to your reference collection on death, burial customs, funeral rites, and especially mortuary furniture (coffins, caskets, mausoleums, urns, hearses,etc.).

Thanks 11 Nov 2011

By Brian - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I would like to thank you for selling books. Some say books are boring, others say that they are filthy, but most say they are windows to the world. Your book taught me that.
