The Phantom Atlas is a guide to the world not as it is, but as it was imagined to be.
This richly illustrated book collects and explores the colorful histories behind a striking range of real antique Maps that are all in some way a little too good to be true..
It\'s a world of ghost islands, invisible mountain ranges, mythical civilizations, ship-wrecking beasts, and other fictitious features introduced on Maps and atlases through mistakes, misunderstanding, fantasies, and outright lies.
