Customer Reviews

Poor quality reprint

There are many wonderful maps in this book -- truly invaluable collection of maps. Unfortunately, the reprints are quite small with large margins. Even that wouldn't be bad, but when you're printing small copies, the resolution must be excellent. In this book, it isn't. The maps are foggy and many words are actually unreadable with or without magnification because of how fuzzy the copy is. Also, the originals are color, but this volume is black and white which adds to the obscurity of printing. Although they are available online in full color at much better resolution, I was hoping for a volume my children can use without using the internet or a computer.
