3.0
This book is a lovely, large-format hardback, and the maps themselves are reproduced in glorious detail.
But the text is rather disappointing. I would have liked a description / commentary on the map, set into its historical context. But instead, far too often, we’re given a page of repetitive school-textbook history, with little or no reference to the map itself.
