A lot of publishing is driven by crazes. Ever since Neil MacGregor's History of the world in 100 Objects in 2010 there has been a steady flow of books in the same format. Over the last 100 days or so I have been reading Andrew Green's Wales in 100 Objects. The book (also available in Welsh) has a page of text and a picture (by Roland Dafis) for each object and soa day at atime approach is slow but sure. The text is very well written and infomative. New dicoveries are being made all the time and changing the detail, although the general picture is long established. Fascinating.
