Some errors, but the pictures are fantastic.

As noted in other reviews, there are some errors in this book, but the pictures are fantastic. I looked through most of the Mayan script books in my university library to find nice large images for use as a reference for paintings, and this book was the best I found pictures-wise. I had it checked out consistently during my time at school.
A fascinating linguistic tour
