My lovely wife is teaching a serminar at the University, and went to the bookstore at lunch today. For the princely sum of $2 she picked up a new copy of this book, by John Frederick Walker.

It was highly enough regarded that James Mellon wrote well of it. A historical reference to Ivory and how Mankind has valued it.

I have it but not read it. Looks good on the flip through though. It's third in line behind The Rape of Nanking, and Mr. BAruch.
