Review title: Chris's account is self-serving
Product review: By coincidence, I read the Velvet Doublet by James Street, just days before I unpacked the Log of Christopher Columbus. The two books cover virtually the same material from two distinctly different points of view. The detail and expanded coverage of the former (from the point of view of the Pinta/Nina sailors and captains) was highly instructional for reading and evaluating Chris' alleged version of the same events. For the price of the log, (expensive because it is out of print), the James Street book is reasonable, much more entertaining, highly constructive, and causes the reader to question the self-serving entries and omissions in 'the log'. If you are going to read a copy of a lost copy of a translation twice removed, why not just go to the well-written historical novel, which is much more readable?
