Five maps loose (laid-in), and 2 tipped upside-down; but text block and plates are overall nice and clean, if occasionally a little dusty or thumbed along the very edges. While complete copies can be found in library holdings, most on the marketplace are (like this one), missing a few of the detailed and very cool (sea monsters!) maps. Text is complete, and the maps that remain show the world, Britain, Germany, Italy, Sardinia and Corsica, Crete, China, India, Palestine, and more.
