The blurb of this book claims it talks about new discoveries, and it does a bit, but mostly it's a somewhat rambling look at what drives the author, what he loves about Pompeii and working as the director of Pompeii, how he got there...
Which is all quite interesting, if sometimes prone to pages-long digressions, and his interest in the everyday (not just the beautiful murals) is vital and I think will continue to have good results in Pompeii.
