It's a conspiracy!

Another book in the mail today! An extremely large package from PostScriptBooks. I thought it contained two books. I was a bit dissapointed when I peeled away the cardboard. BUT. What a book. Again one that was on ARCA's reading list for the Masters course. The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities. From Italy's Toms Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums by Peter Watson and Cecilia Todeschini.
I like a bit of interesting investigative journalism.
Theft, smuggling, dealing, corruption, war, intrigue, illicit trade,...
And the book was a real bargain. I got a new 2006 hardback copy for only 7,69€. The price tag on the back said 15,99£!
