The photography's absolutely gorgeous, but this book wasn't Gestalten's best showing in terms of content. I caught a few inaccuracies (e.g., use of the word patacones, which is fried plantains, vs. patagones, which is big feet) and that makes me question the validity of all text throughout. Better editing and fact-checking could've easily boosted this score to a solid 4.
