Thumbnail reviews: Atlas de Cuba

Summary

Atlas De Cuba, authored by Gerardo Canet with the collaboration of Erwin Raisz, was published by Harvard University Press in 1949, comprising 64 pages at a price of $3.50. The atlas aims to present a vivid picture of Cuba, and it appears to achieve this goal within its 64 13×10-inch pages and an inserted 2×5-foot colored map of the island. The text is bilingual in Spanish and English, and its format is as attractive as the new-style annual reports of major American corporations. If the price could be reduced, similar atlases would be welcomed for various states in the United States.
