Hard Cover. Condizione: As New. 252 x 192 mm. Place names are a window into the history and characteristics of a country.

This volume is confined to the 38 countries of Europe, together with Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Cyprus and the Vatican City. All place names of cities and towns of particular importance and interest are included.…
