I loved this book. The writing is conversational in tone and very clever. The geography and history of borders are explained well. Jonn Elledge displays a great sense of humour and even the footnotes are well worth reading. The book is well-paced and never gets bogged down in minutiae. Indeed, I would describe the writing as crisp. The maps were excellent, important for a book about borders. I recommend this book for anyone interested in geography or history. Thank you to Netgalley and The Experiment for the advance reader copy.
