Atlas of Remote Islands: Fifty Islands I Have Never Set Foot on and Never Will

This slender book is delightful to read and view. Each remote island gets two facing pages: one is a map (of course) and the other is a brief story about the island. The stories might detail the discovery or perhaps some later habitation, but each story is quirky as indeed they must be for these tiny and remote places. If I remember correctly, most of these islands are uninhabited today. Though not the size of a coffee table book (I have the hardcover), that is a suitable place for it.
