Good photo on the parade of the Opening Ceremony of 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.-Page 10. Another very good photo featuring the Olympic flag and the Salk Lake City flag along with other countries.-Page 49. Kosovo considered as a country, despite it is "... recognized by more than 40 (mainly Western) nations".-Page 50. The book's biggest mistake: Montenegro red flag with no yellow border.-State (subnational) flags only for Australia and USA.-Includes flags for Christmas Island and Cocos Islands but omitted Norfolk Island (not ever mentioned).-Page 94. Northern Mariana Is. flag with a incorrect darker blue field.-Page 100. For New Caledonia describes a local flag in the following terms: "... red field upon which is (...) in white (...) a cagou ...." -Have you heard about such a flag?-Page 105. Tokelau: It says that "... from the 1980s an unofficial blue flag, displaying three white stars and gold circles (...) began to be used for some international sports events"... Such a statement is clearly false. Tokelau always flew the New Zealand flag (at least officially), there has been no other flag until that recently adopted in 2008.-Page 128. Illustrates local flag of Saint-Barthelemy: coat of arms on a white field.-Page 176. Not illustrated but described the "local flag" of Mayotte: "... is white, with Mayotte's coat of arms at the centre, supported by two sea horses and the island's name above".-Page 184. Western Sahara placed in the de-facto states section, despite is it recognized by ca. 40 countries like Kosovo (p. 49).-De-facto states include: Northern Cyprus, Palestine, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Karabakh, Dniester Republic, Western Sahara and Somaliland.-Omitted the flag of the Netherlands Antilles assuming that the entity is going to disappear in 2008. Instead it presents the flag of the five main islands.-African section includes some political odd comments, v.g. Zimbabwe (p. 172).-It is easily perceived that most of the information (about flags meaning and symbolism) is got from the internet.Physically, it is a high quality book, thick well-bound white pages, full coloured illustrated, and soft, manageable, thick cover.It could be considered as a very basic book, more an Almanac than a Vexillology book.Though illustrated, the flags featured are quite small: 2.5 cm. (apr.) high.
