Title: It's an atlas--it needs more maps
Product review: This is a great book for pictures and descriptions. However, there are not too many maps. The other books in this series are fantastic, and they have lots of enlightening maps. This book stands out for not living up to the quality of the rest of the series. 30 maps in 191 pages! There is a 34 page stretch with no maps--42 if you don't count the one 3"x4" map that appears within that stretch! Many maps are just squares on the page with little info. There were only 3 or 4 maps that add visuals that are not in The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings. The Penguin atlas is far superior.
