Memento Mori: The Dead Among Us [Koudounaris, Paul] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Memento Mori: The Dead Among Us

Review: Books with dignity - I admit, Paul Koudounaris' books are pricey - but SO worth the money. All books are bound well, nice, thick stock paper and beautiful, absolutely beautiful, photos. True, the subject can be a bit off-putting, but if someone thought that would they buy the books anyway? What I appreciate most about his books, and this one as well, is that he treats the subject and subject matter with dignity. He doesn't make it a joke or an "off fascination", no macabre off-putting humour... He doles out the information as a professional and packs the book full of amazing photos. I appreciated the chapters on death in Indonesia and the Philippine as they are not normally highlighted in books as these so I learned something new. Some of the info and photos were duplicates from his other books, but I still think it was worth the purchase.
Review: Monuments to the Dead Treated With Dignity, Respect, and Well Written Text. - At first I was a bit put off by the rather bland looking cover, thinking this may be just a knock-off to keep the money coming. I was very happily incorrect - the book itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a shiny, satin-like cloth cover printed with gold foil lettering. This addition to Mr. Koundounaris' amazing previous offerings is, believe me, BETTER and more morbidly gorgeous than his other works. Don't hesitate to purchase this amazing photographic journey into the world of death's memorials, with a great deal of interesting and informative text to accompany the stunning pictures. Plus, the entire concept is treated with dignity and utmost respect - no gore or dismal, bleak photos of abandoned cemeteries. A truly breathtaking walk through histories attempts to memorialize the otherwise forgotten dead..."As You Are, They Were. As They Are, You Will Be."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully Done
*by A***E on April 1, 2023*

This is a gorgeous book. The photos are so high quality I can spend hours just flipping through pages looking at them. The stories are fascinating, and the authors voice shows through in his narration style throughout the book. Wonderful for the morbidly inclined.
