Dutch Primacy in World Trade, 1585-1740 (Clarendon Paperbacks)

Rating:
Summary: Just fine, for a textbook
Review: Enjoyment of this book certainly improves with guided use under academic direction. It certainly has dry sections. There are a number of numerical charts of population trends and mercantile trends generally based on primary sources; if your interest in history is more technical than popular this is your sort of book.
