Fascinating in the way a set of encyclopedias or a dictionary can be...there is no story or plot, being just a tax record of assets, but really absorbing. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140515356, Paperback)

Domesday Book, compiled in 1086 at the behest of William the Conqueror, has been described as "the most valuable piece of antiquity possessed by any nation" (David Hume) and viewed by historians as the final act of the Norman conquest. Produced under the supervision of the most renowned Domesday scholars, this authoritative translation of the complete Domesday offers a remarkable portrait of England in the late eleventh century.
