"I've been reading Anno books since my early childhood. But this was one I didn't know, and more surprising than that - it had text! My Anno books never had actual words in them...
As Anno says in his afterword, the title could well have been "How people living in the era of the Ptolemaic Theory saw their world". And I see why this one probably couldn't be done without some text. (My main feeling after reading through it the first time was "oh, if I knew more ancient history, I'm sure I'd see even more in this." Then I flipped the book over and re-read it, this time pretty much ignoring the text.)
The "Anno-figure" (if you've read his more common books you'll know what I mean) makes only one real appearance in this book, which is almost as odd as the text. In fact, he appears on the page where I finally noticed what was going on with the background - very clever. He then appears on the last few pages.
It's a beautifully drawn book. Everything made to look quite aged, and the pages just before and just after the endpapers are done beautifully subtly: at the beginning of the book, an angel is swinging the sun around the Earth: at the end, she now swings the Earth around the sun. I kind of wished there was more variety in the illuminated borders, but that's just because I wanted more designs to copy :-)"
