The rich full page and full color photographs of the art of St. John's co-cathedral in Malta make this book a pleasure to look at. De Giorgio, curator of the co-cathedral and museum, elucidates
the components of the elaborate artwork that can overwhelm the casual viewer. She gives the background of the people commemorated in monuments. The names of the artists, when known, are also
given with some background on their accomplishments. De Giorgio clearly knows and loves the art of the co-cathedral. Her commentary is knowledgeable and more than compensates for the lack of
careful editing, especially in the punctuation of the text. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
