National Geographic

This month's issue is about China. It has gorgeous picture and a great detailed map. I recommend picking it up as a keepsake for all our China angels. It also has a nice detailed map. Check out their website, there are all kinds of pictures that readers have posted.

I need to go pick this one up. Sounds like a keepsake we should have.

I picked up a copy yesterday on my way to work so I haven't had a chance to read much. The entire issue is devoted to China. It looks like its pretty good.

I finished reading it. The map, like all of National Geographic's maps, was great.

Without giving too much away, the issue isn't always flattering of China, especially when it comes to talking about the environment.

But, it was really insightful and definitely worth the money. They didn't pull any punches, but I think that made it much more enjoyable.

Darn it! I keep forgetting to get me to a bookstore to get a copy. Someone remind me when I'm out shopping - LOL!
