Is it any good?
Gotta say it looks flash but the price is flasher!!
And I am a bit not keen to send money to Poland unless I no its not a scam or some thing.
Its prolly ok but its a lot of bucks to take a punt on.

Heck ... I couldnt go for the airmail at $180USD let alone the book.

To me that sort of money to airmail a book rings BIG bells as to how much value you will get from the product itself and makes my mind up immediately about if it is over priced or not.

I bet you could airmail a lot of stuff for $180USD !!!!!!!!!

Seems way over priced to me as there is the Taki atlas which is free and Cnebulax which is almost as detailed and free. Spend a few dollars and print them out and get it bound if you want.
