Mixed impressions. Half of the book consists of a monotonous mentions of a smallest African settlements with a brief information about date palms and water sources around. The information undoubtedly was useful in the 17th century, but absolutely waste of time now.
The other half however contains amazing colourful descriptions of medieval African life. The city of Fez, the customs of Cairo women, a brief guide how to train a camel, and so on and so forth. I love this alive and capriccios pictures very much.
