Recommend a book about Carthage.

I’ve been thinking it would be interesting to learn more about the Carthage empire, but most of the books I am finding are about the FALL of Carthage (Punic Wars) and/or about Hannibal.

Can anyone recommend a book that covers a more broad history of Carthage?

Thanks

Let me amend that. An in print book about Carthage.

It is not a history book per se, but Salammbô makes a pretty good read. The author is Gustave Flaubert, of Madame Bovary fame.
