The map uses illustrations that take up whole continental regions, making it very difficult to pinpoint the locations. The art is all by the illustrator, which, compared to Eyewitness books, is a terrible choice, as 'emperor's robes' and etc. should be photographed, not created. Also, it says, for example, that Mahjong is a game of chance, full stop, whereas the truth is that skillful players have a much better chance of winning.... so, I wonder what other facts are wrong or misrepresented. It is the most thorough children's non-fiction book on the subject I've seen this month, though. If you want to use it, be sure to complement it with others.
