The guide has been periodically updated since the original edition in 1954 to incorporate new discoveries and scholarship. It is intended for visitors actually touring the ruins of the ancient
Greek city's market, and so is arranged topographically monument by monument. The fold-out map in a back pocket shows the whole site and relationship of the monuments to each other, and is
referenced to the text. Maps, floor and site plans, drawings, and photographs are included. Previous editions were titled Athenian Agora: A Guide to the Excavation and Museum. Distributed in
North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
