Posted in clarity, reseña, tagged , , on August 28, 2007| Leave a Comment »

Posted in reseña, tagged , on August 28, 2007| Leave a Comment »

Unlike most airplane guides, the compact 8.5 x 6.5″ format of this illustrated directory makes it handy for sliding in and out of a briefcase. Unfortunately, the book’s materials and construction are not durable enough to withstand regular travel in this way.
