Vesuvius – Pompeii and Herculaneum (1976) by Michael Grant – Penguin Books
Proudly offered by Crappy Old Books – specialists in history, ash, and slightly warped covers.

When Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, it buried two cities and launched a thousand books. In this 1976 Penguin classic, renowned historian Michael Grant unearths the drama, daily life, and tragic beauty of Pompeii and Herculaneum with scholarly precision and a flair for storytelling. Expect gods, gladiators, and a fair bit of volcanic doom, all wrapped in that distinctive ‘70s Penguin paperback feel.

Our copy has definitely seen better days—foxing, faded pages, maybe even some metaphorical ash—but the words still burn bright.
