The Lure of Gold: An Artistic and Cultural History
It's awesome, although so big as to be daunting.
So many things I spent half my life wondering about are in here.
And then disappointingly there are things that aren't in it.
It says a lot about the book that one can just assume it's ultimately comprehensive.
