★★☆☆☆
No scales, no north points, no identification of latitude and longitude. Not good.
The book is beautiful, full of information and is a pleasure to look at.
However a book of maps should include for each map a north point if it makes sense, a scale, even an approximate one, and identification of the lines of latitude and longitude, 30 degrees, 50 degrees, whatever it is.
That none of the maps in this book provide such basic information is a disgrace to cartography.
