Terrible maps 
I don't own this edition but I have an ebook of the original that this is a facsimile of. Basically it's the geography of india compared to the descriptions of Arrian and Ptolemy and a Chinese explorer. That part is fantastic but the maps are absolutely incomprehensible. There are bold lines going every which way (possible routes of alexander?), barely legible names that may be towns, rivers, mountains, etc. The author tried to put too much information into each map. Perhaps if one could find a good atlas this book could be used in conjunction with it. However, I'm still looking for a good historical atlas of india in the classical era. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.
