Book Reviews of Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography
Book Review: "Stories in Stone," a cemetery lovers book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a family genealogist and love cemeteries. Recently, I spent a most enjoyable Sunday afternoon curled up in my favorite chair reading "Stories in Stone" cover to cover. I just couldn't put it down.It is one of the very best books I've read on cemetery symbolism. The amount of research and documentation is impressive. Photographs are used freely throughout to illustrate and compliment each of the symbols discussed. "Stories in Stone" is a must-have, must-read book for all cemetery aficionados.
