Only Book Making Sense of Book of Mormon Geography

The best book on Book of Mormon Geography I have ever read. This book just makes sense. The Book of Mormon talks about a Sea East and a Sea West. The Central America theories just never made sense. In the Book of Mormon it says that Hagoth launched ships into the Sea West near the narrow neck of land and sailed northward (not West or Northwest). Venice's South America theory works. The Book was Published in 1974. I liked how Venice gave credit to Verla Birrell's 1946 book, proposing the location of the narrow neck of land (The Gulf of Guayaquil in so. Equador), even though she stated that she did not know anyone had thought of it before.The Book proposes specific locations of the City of Nephi (Cuzco, Peru), Zarahemla (Pachacamac), the River Sidon (Montaro), etc. It is interesting to note that another Author, Aurthur Kocherhans, has taken camera crews to South America over the last 10+ years. He has made 7 videos ("Lehi's Isle of Promise") showing these proposed locations on film, bringing this theory alive.
