Title: Buy it, but don't expect much.
Review: Since it is the only companion book available that charts the Aubrey/Maturin novels, it may be worth buying to follow the voyages. I was left wanting so much more - sketches of the ships, uniforms of the officers and the Foremast Jacks. The included summary of the novels is silly! You might save your money and purchase a good World Atlas along with "Seamanship in the Age of Sail" an excellent, if pricey, volume and perhaps the best: "Nelson's Navy" which gives great detail of the ships and the Navy of the time. (The Geoff Hunt prints of the cover paintings show some splendid representation of the ships - some are still available.)The Aubrey/Maturin novels deserve fine companion books, not this seemingly slapped together comic-book. I hope that someone out there is working on a version that will live up to the novels of Patrick O'Brien.
