Full title: The Buried Book: The Loss and Rediscovery of the Great Epic of Gilgamesh. This book was excellent, just the sort of archaeological history that I like. Damrosch does a nice job of painting all the major players, from Smith and Rassam in the 1800s to Ashurbanipal, whose passion for literature and ancient library made the rediscovery of Gilgamesh possible. Highly recommended for those who like this sort of thing.
It had been too long since I'd read something like this. Really enjoyed it.
