I like these books- the illustrations are beautiful and the information is interesting. I don't like that the rulers on the sides of the illustrations don't seem to scale. Unless that's just my lack of spatial intelligence throwing things off and making me misunderstand something. Like... I expect them to be in scale with the drawing... but they don't seem to be.
