Very good book
This book is like a very long article on salt. The history is overwhelming. I've been looking for a reference book like that and I don't know how I missed it. Arrived on time. I enjoy reading it. It's a book for general readers, don't have to be an academic to understand.

Great read about civilisation
You want to read about salt? Wrong book. You want to read about how salt affected civilisations? You've come to the right place. A great in-depth read and analysis of human civilisation; empires grew and empires declined because of salt.
