This review is from: Cool Maps of Cuba: An Atlas of History, Population, Resources Before and After Fidel Castro (Paperback)

The first thing to know, dear consumer, is that we are not talking about a book here. At 32 pages it is more like a pamphlet. The author's modus operandi: scanning the internet for completely free-of-charge maps of Cuba (topological, economic, etc.) -- and then gathering them all together and printing them out, adding a short, inane commentary to just a few of them, and charging $17.36! Over the past five years I have purchased approximately 250 products from Amazon.com --books, cd's, dvd's, etc. -- but I had never felt so totally ripped off as "Cool Maps of Cuba" made me feel. Not cool at all, man! Thank goodness for Amazon's expedited return service.
