Summary: Exciting new Connolly books or just different versions?
Review: I have purchased most of Peter Connolly's illustrated books, and they are all fantastic. My only complaint is the areas where they leave me wanting more.

If you too are a fan, you know that his material is sometimes reused over the years in different titles. For instance, illustrations from Greece and Rome At War and The Ancient Greece of Odysseus appear in The Ancient City (still my favorite.)

From the Amazon "Look Inside" feature I gather that these two volumes are a re-working of material from The Ancient City (with Hazel Dodge). I think it is great that these books are targeted at a new audience, but I won't purchase them unless there is something new for me in them. Though I would not hesitate to give them as gifts. If a reviewer could give a good comparison of these books to Peter Connolly's past projects it would be a great help.
