Editorial Reviews:

Pausanias, the Greek historian and traveler, lived and wrote around the second century AD, during the period when Greece had fallen peacefully to the Roman Empire. While fragments from this period abound, Pausanias' Periegesis ("description") of Greece is the only fully preserved text of travel writing to have survived. This collection uses Pausanias as a multifaceted lens yielding indispensable information about the cultural world of Roman Greece.

Summary: what a book !
Comment: I gave this book 5 stars because the person who read it last gave it one - and they hadn't read it either but at least most of us would know that it was not the work of Pausanias himself because the author is not Pausanias himself but a woman and the title is clearly dealing with Pausanias .... so, stupid of Texas - why are you even bothering ????

it's got a lovely cover from what i can see and it sounds fascinating.. i may well buy it and i can wholeheartedly recommned it

Summary: Warning!
Comment: For those hoping to find a translation of Pausanias, this isn't it. It is a collection of essays about Pausanias.

I haven't read it yet, so my rating is based solely on my disappointment that it is not what I was expecting. I imagine I'll still enjoy the essays, but I was really hoping for the actual work itself.
