Title: Good Pictures, Terrible Text
Product review: As has already been mentioned, the scholarship seems sloppily done and internally contradictory. However, the book does contain many good illustrations (100 photos, 16 color plates).Particularly notable are the line drawings of the tattooing on the male body from the 2nd Pazyryk kurgan, and the color plates showing schematic reconstructions of Scythian horse trappings. Of course, the tattoo information is now available on the web, and I suspect that the horse trappings are also available elsewhere...
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
