Super book great for price/

Perhaps the Union Jack on the front cover should have warned me that 'Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry' is a pretty unsubstantial offering; it's more like the lightweight guide book that you'll flick through when visiting a tourist attraction than a scholarly tome that you'll pore over for weeks. (Standard stuff for a Pitkin book I suppose - just note that it is a mere 32 pages.)The book goes over the usual theories and mysteries behind the Tapestry, and illustrates them nicely, with photos of relevant sites and near-contemporary illustrations.
