In 2010 bbc radio 4 launched a fantastic series about the history of the world or more precisely a history of the world based on 100 objects from the british museum collection

Regarding the book editions i think the hardcover is the best option as the pictures are larger and the font size is bigger when compared to the paperback

A fascinating book takes you on a journey of articles in the british museum from a 2 million year old hand axe to the credit card

Amazingly noneurocentric for something based on a british museum exhibition

Also at the museum only a subset of these objects is displayed at any time
