Description:
A beautifully presented gift for anyone with an intrigue for geographical curiosities.
This beautifully designed book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands.
Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world.
Most people believe that a country’s borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule.
Examples include:
• Campione d’Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory
• Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria
• Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs to the Spanish city of Irun, and the remaining half, to its French twin-town, Hendaye
• Canadian Stanstead and American Beebe Plain where the boundary line runs along the centre of the main street, so that the houses on one side of the street are in Canada and on the other in the United States
These and many more instances are captured in this fascinating book full of strange geographical intrigue.

Comfy, great quality
Size: 6-10, Color: White
I’ve had these for quite a while now. They are holding up very well as i wear them a lot for work (coaching). They are very cushiony and most importantly, they do not slip!
I would compare these to Bombas but at a significantly better price point.

My favorite socks now!
Size: Medium, Color: Deep Sea/Breaker Blue/Electro Pink
I love socks! And these are quickly becoming my favorites! They do not slide down into your shoe no matter if you are working out or just wearing them for normal everyday use. The price is a little higher than I would normally pay for 3 pair of socks, but after wearing these for a few weeks, I think the quality and comfortability of these socks is well worth the money.

Quality, comfort and support.
Size: Medium, Color: Deep Sea/Breaker Blue/Electro Pink
These socks are the bomb! If you are athletic or on your feet for extended periods these great looking, well made socks are constructed to offer just the right amount of compression and support. The toe is soft and thick. I will order these again and again. Hopefully Amazon will add even more color choices on the future.
