Much more informative than staring at our phones while "socializing" Keep in mind this is a book ABOUT maps... Not just a book OF maps. All of the pictures of maps (and there are ALL kinds of maps and charts covered) are great to look at, but each has several pages dedicated to sections of the map, while being surrounded by informative text blocks explaining said map in great detail.
