I just picked up Frank Holt's new book Lost world of the Golden King. It has some good reviews and am excited to start it.

Please let us know what you think of it. I bought the one with the elephant medallions and it should be in by this week. I kind of get the feeling they will all be pretty similar, being based on the same evidence more or less. This is just what I expect. I hope to be proved wrong.

My sister sent me that for Christmas two years ago, and it was actually quite interesting. A pretty good piece of scholarship, from what I can see, and takes you into an area known previously known only to the experts.
