This review is from: Countries of the Caucasus in Medieval Maps: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan (Perfect Paperback)

This book contains many maps that I had never seen before or had no access to. The author does a excellent job of explaining the maps and highlighting key areas that might be hard to read if you do not speak the language the map is written in.
My only complaint with this map is it is very Armenian-biased. The book even states in the index that Armenia will not be listed there because it is mentioned on almost every page.
