The Dictionary of Imaginary Places (Updated)

My updated list of Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi's "indispensable guidebook to realms of the imagination. From Atlantis to Xanadu, this Baedeker of make-believe takes readers on a tour of more than 1,200 lands invented by storytellers from Homer's day to our own." Lots of useful maps and pictures are included. In order of entries.
