The Dictionary of Imaginary Places: The Newly Updated and Expanded Classic by Alberto Manguel, Gianni Guadalupi

3.0

While not really something you can just sit and read, I feel the authors did an excellent job of collecting and summarizing magical and unusual fictional places for you to read about. While I am still in the process of slowly but surely reading through this dictionary, I find that, to really find interest in many of these places, you really just ought to read the books these worlds and places came from.

I'd really love to see a science fiction one with full planets.

I'm giving this one 3 stars on the basis that I don't feel this is something people would really read. This seems more like a novelty book or a quick reference boon to me. Ultimately, you would more likely use a real dictionary than this one.
