Thanks for mentioning this. I'm about one-third of the way through and it's a lovely book.
The only other Met related books I've read are Thomas Hoving's Making the Mummies Dance, well worth reading (although not an ebook), and John McPhee's profile of Hoving. I just borrowed Metropolitan Stories, a novel about the Met.
The Met is such a wonderful museum.
