The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies and Blunders on Maps by Edward Brooke-Hitching

informative slow-paced

3.5

The physical production of this book is stunning, the illustrations and the dust cover are immaculate, and I particularly loved the discussions of the weird and strange creatures explorers claimed to have met on their travels. I will say, however, that after a while this book got very repetitive - someone claimed this island was here, oh no, it turns out it wasn't there. And repeat.
