Nero exhibition

[Condottiero Magno]

Thank you.  I thought that for six quid I couldn't go too far wrong but the ordering and payment process became so tortuous that I gave up.  I may try again later.

I googled this and the BM does actually have a full book but they have not managed to get it out in time for the first few months of the exhibition (not the best plan, commercially).  If you don't mind subsidising Jeff Bezos' pointless space trips and alimony, you can get the full catalogue here (PB or HB) with minimal administrative effort.  I looked up the same title at the Book Depositary but annoyingly it is cheaper on Amazon!

Won't be out on Amazon.com til late August and don't feel the urge to order from Amazon UK, though I have had pleasant experiences with them in the past, in contrast with The Book Depository which I'd compare with Ryanair! IIRC, TBD was acquired by Amazon years ago and I don't know why they're still around, as the prices are comparable, but the customer service is awful: received a book with a corner of a spine missing and another with a slashed cover, yet all I was offered was a slight discount with the latter or return at my own expense and treated like a liar. Amazon UK once sent me a damaged book in an improperly packaged box and told me to keep it and sent a replacement.
