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

informative slow-paced

4.0

Perfect coffee table book. The illustrations are beautiful and it has a good, weighty/solid feel. I found this to be interesting as it’s like seeing the world through the eyes of past explorers and just how incredible the skill of cartography is, even if some of the lands are fantasy. The book could do with slightly more information in each section and more maps from outside of Europe. This is a fun read for someone who loves the PoTC films!
