Book Reviews of The Agile Rabbit Book of Historical And Curious Maps (Agile Rabbit Editions)
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 4 Stars
There are no descriptions on the pages and I LOVE that (the descriptions are in the back). I love wondering what each one is. After my daydream I flip to the back to see what it is or if I'm right. My husband and I love maps and we really enjoy this book. The CD-ROM included is also great.
