A pure pleasure for the mind and the eyes, July 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Historic Maritime Maps: Used for HIstoric Exploration 1290-1699 (Temporis) (Hardcover)
This book is absolutely fascinating! The author has done a wonderful job in speaking of these ancient maps. Although I was not too interested in the subject, I quickly found myself devouring the book! It is a perfect gift for all, both for its iconography and the insight it gives on this remarkable page of our history...

A Major Disappointment, February 23, 2002

I got suckered by this book. The typos are abominable; the text trite. Sure the maps are good, but most are the same classics you see in any history of maps book.
